Format to Fat 32 , 32768k Clusters. Try GUI Format.

Try Carefully Cleaning with Cleaning Alcohol the kind of stuff you use for CDs etc or Hand Sanitizer. You can try QTips.

Contacts maybe loose or the Slot itself make sure it in tight bad thing about Push Slots. Maybe try piece of hard paper Card to slide in with it.

These type of Card Readers can be Notorious for these problems.

It is possible that something is obstructing inside the Slot get a Torch and shine in take a look dont go poking with anything metallic or sharp etc ESSPECIALLY IF POWER GOING THROUGH IT!

Try turn upside down gentle shake maybe something stuck in Slot. It Sounds like it.

Just get another SD card, that'd be the easiest solution, for now, I'd say look around for one, or buy an 8gb one.
