x-pro2 SD card full error

[Mikelville]

Hi. I have had consistent ease of use on this camera for a long time. Yesterday, I was shooting with a new Godox 685, alkaline batteries. Getting some very nice images. It just stopped shooting, saying the card was full. I put in another card, but the same error. "card no. "1, or 2" full". I reformatted both the sandisk 16g cards, but it isn't happy. Won't recognize these cards being formatted, which I did in camera. Everything else seems fine. At the time of the error, there was only one card in camera. It actually took one shot, after formatting cards. I'm not sure what to try

1. Clean cards the with a pencil eraser and format and test them on a computer first to see if they are OK.
2. Then take pictures to see if OK.
3. Now Format in Camera and test again.
4. Test in each slot separately.
if cards fails in one slot but not the other that slot needs to be professionally cleaned (don't try this at home)
if the cards fail in both slots the camera firmware or hardware failed = service.

You can try resetting the camera first but there is no way of knowing if that would help.
