Hardware \ Help - MicroSD Card!!!

Ok, when I tried to turn on my DS with an R4 card(i've had it since last year) I got the error message "Could not find Menu.dat"
I plugged it into my usb and into the computer, the memory from previously is still occupied, but there are no files.

I had not yet backed up the data and i'm not sure of which is at fault, my DS, my R4(posssibly this, read below^) or the MicroSD. Help is definitely needed.

^- When I turned on my DS with the R4 in(no SD card however), the health warning screen didn't skip at the first blink of the "Touch to Continue", where last time I tried, it should've went to the R4 and said sd/tf card missing..

(My brother is helping me recover the files, however, I would like to know why and how it stuffed up.)

Other info: My R4 is the springloaded one, so that might mean something.

Edit~ Just opened up my R4 unit and cleaned it with my other tools, now I just get the "No SD/TF card" - brother still saving files


Edit~ This thread may be closed due to the R4 doin' some funkytown on my SD card, looks like i'll have to start Starfox, Assassins Creed and Mario/Sonic at the Olympics all over again.

Ok newer problems:

Splicing of some of the Themes
Moonshell doesn't work properly (from main menu, have to load as the .nds file via game)

And from my other thread

"Well recently, something happened to my R4 making it technically destroy the data on my SD. Now I noticed something extra weird. Whenever I load up Theme02, it splices with Theme01(top) and once I turn it off/turn it back on, it splices with the generic background.
This happens similarly on my Theme04(splices with 03) and with the off/on bug.

I don't know if this has happened because
a: there is dust in/on the connector
b: I scratched one of the connectors (I used a brush/air blowy thing to clean the inside of the R4 after it ate my SD)
c: due to it being carried in my schoolbag and some tumbles occuring, something went wrong
d: the powers that be just don't like me

Any thoughts?
Should I open the R4 again and see what went wrong, or should I leave it as is?

get a new/better card, the R4 is very old technology... but if no one here can help answer the problems you are having, try a different site with specific R4 forums.... but seriously the R4 is old... and if you get a new card, stay away from the M3dsReal and the DSTT
