Yes, memory cards can fail. With most micro-electronics heat is the
main enemy. And possibly moisture. I haven't had a problem myself,
but my son, who does more hiking and photography than me, reports
problems with the cheaper brand I was buying. He trusts SanDisk and
Kingston (YMMV, of course).
Are you using the same reader? I don't know which card type you have,
but with SD cards there are driver incompatibilities, particularly if
you get above 2GB. There is a chance that your card is ok, you are
just trying an incompatible card reader.
