No memory card

Few enough of those these days. Unbelievable how a tiny strand of protein chain can cause so much havoc. Still hoping the plateau arrives soon.

I have exactly the same problem, every San Disk card I buy that should work in my C23 does not.
I hadn't heard of the hack where you put a card in a C23 that is already on, I tried it today no change

Why Cameras Won't Read Some SD Cards
Got an error message when trying to format a new memory card in your camera? Heres why.

Why is My SD Card Not Working or Cannot Be Read?
What you can do if your computer, phone, or camera cannot read an SD Card.

Specifications for Yuneec’s cameras: All three of these cameras meet the SDXC standard and as such can use SD cards from 4GB to 128GB in size. The following are references:
CGO3 - CGO3 Plus Specs
CGO3+ - YUNEEC CGO3+ 4K Gimbal Camera for Typhoon H Hexacopter Be sure to view all specs.

I've just received and tried a SanDisk 32GB Extreme (not pro) and that was also unrecognised first time, but I switched the drone off and back on and it has recognised it, been formatted and captured images okay since. (But I'm still going to carry the original supplied card with me, just in case!)
Your post struck a chord with me. I always have power off when I change a card on my CGO3+. I have never had a problem with either of my cards (SanDisk 128GB Extreme V30 U3 and Panasonic 16GB Class 10 U3). I have done that to avoid putting any stress on the gimbal motors.
I am curious if you have hot swapped the SD cards in the C23.
I’ve done some further web browsing on standards for SD cards and have encountered the UHS standard. Is the 64GB Extreme Pro you are having issues with an SDXC I or SDXC II rated card? The I and II are the UHS rating.

Yes, with the Extreme Pro, if I insert it whilethe C23 is switched on it gets recognised, but not if it's already in when I switch the drone on. It's 32 GB SDHC UHS-1. The other markings on the card are a number 3 in the "bucket" shape and A1
The Extreme wasn't recognised first time, but seems to be working fine now.
Okay. I just wanted to be sure it was not an UHS II, as that would very likely be incompatible. There are now Extreme Pro cards out now with the SDXC II (using the UHS II high speed bus protocol) that are likely incompatible with our cameras.
I am digging into this a bit more to see if these cards are backward compatible in devices designed for UHS I. I will report later.
Here’s some more information I’ve found. Should help for those that do 4K video also.

Did you ever find out why the SD card can't be found?
BTW...Can someone tell me exactly what (make, size, etc.) SD chip is/was shipped with a New Typhoon H Plus from Yuneec?

So, yesterday, 4/17/20, I got real interested in this post about memory card because my recently purchased SanDisk 128GB would NOT work after formatting.
I returned the SanDisk back to Amazon and replaced it with a Samsung 128GB chip today and BOOM...it formatted and is storing both photos and vids. Yes...as a newbie, I first panicked but now I'm grinning like a fool. Pleased. And now, I'm going to go play with my new bestie...TH+!

My saga with the Sandisk card didn't end at my last "this one's working" post.
I carried out my first commercial job using the Sandisk, consisting of three flights. All the photos displayed okay in the previews on the controller.
However, when I came to download the images from the card to my computer, there were two just folders - and all the images from the first (and longest) flight were missing.
Fortunately, I was able to return the next day and repeat the flight, having replaced the Sandisk with the original supplied card which worked fine, as usual. I shall never try another Sandisk in my HPlus.
