I had a issue , I was working a few weeks back on some experiment's with 3k/UHD on 5d2 and I had a bad crash (camera's Ok ,  boots up with other cf cards)
I had a message on screen "format card" tried to but said card was no able to format  , so loaded up on PC card came up as "Raw Data" 64GB but could not format
I can't activate the partition , tried "disk part" etc. .... nothing seem to work . I don't care about recovery just what to format also tried different format options
NTSF , fat32, fat, & exfat , nothing even testdisk-7.1-WIP doesn't help . If I use the right click "format drive" short cut , and do a low level format (not a quick format)
it will format the card until the very end , like less then 1% left and says "can't format or a error has happen" and exit out
The card is not old (got it around xmas 2017) only used it a few times
Lexar 1066x 64GB
Any hints or advice ?
I could if all else fails send it in for warranty but take's 2-3 week .

I'd try to run badblocks on this drive:

Careful, wrong disk drive in the command line can erase your main HDD (I did this by mistake; luckily it was a new install, so... other than having to start over, there was nothing lost.)

If you still have warranty, it's probably the better option.
