done the rest by switching it off and powered off for 10 minutes and the picture and recording returend but they were missing a frame per shot, if you know what i mean, very jerky and choppy pictures

so then i did the reset with the button pressed, and it took about 10 minutes, boy that was a bitch holding that button down

these seems to have worked so fingers crossed

i await my new card in the next few months to see if that will also cause a problem

thanks for teh help guys appreciate it a lot
