You have to go through the Magic Lantern process with the new SD card. The camera is likely okay. I do remember you have to do an ML firmware flash, enable boot flag on the SD card, etc... So your SL1 is expecting these things when you put in the SD card. I'm not sure if the new ML install does all these steps automatically.

I think you can hold down the trash button before powering on if you want to keep ML disabled. Try that with the new SD card and see if it'll boot.

If all else fails, just do the ML installation process all over using the new SD card.

Thanks for the reply. I did try and copy everything over. It still isnt working. I even formatted the card in the PC and put it in my other body(7d2) and the 7d2 couldnt read it or format it either. I think I got a bum card.
