UPDATE ON booting problem

Update T3i card problem (for DP review) Update T3i card problem (for DP review)
Somebody suggested that my problem of my T3i not turning on was its card limit of 3ti. At first I thought this was the case: it was werid since I have used cards up to 400 gig with the unit, but I thought perhaps when the card gets full of data it fails. So I used card with 128 gigs or less. And it still fails to work with some card. Sometimes, it works, and sometimes it does not. The werid thing is that the camera does not say no card, or just gets confused, putting in a card causeing the canon to fail to turn on, and it will not turn on until the battery is removed, put back, and a compabitlbe card nad battery are entered. Its a shame, since if it was just the 128 gig card issue I could just use smaller cards, but it seems somewhat random. It is true it seems to fail now with all larger cards- so far ever 16 gig card has worked but at 64 gig or higher it is hit and miss, and perhaps the same with the lower cards too, and it just been chance they have worked up to this point. I have read that when the model came out a simlar defect appeared from the factory, but its been workign for years without said defect. Any suggestions?
