Are you using a full size SD card?

Yes

What size card? If it is SDXC, 64 GB or higher, then "might" explain your problem. Despite what specs say, I have had trouble with T5, EOS 1200D, recognizing new SDXC cards until I format them in my computer, then reformat them in the camera.

Also, you could have a defective card. Buy a new card, 32GB or less. Stick to name brands like Sandisk or Lexar. Beware of bargain deals on the internet. Buy a card from a local retailer.

Maybe a factory reset will do something?

TEMPORARILY set the camera to allow shooting without a card installed. Remove the card. Set camera to Program (P) mode. Does the shutter fire?

Let us know what happens. Switch the setting back to "Disable". You don't want to take a bunch of photos without any "film" in the camera.

It must be a problem with your card. Try formatting in computer and then format in camera. Be sure the lock isn't on.

Look in the card slot and see if there is anything that might be preventing the card from connecting. If there is, you can try blowing it out.

There is also a switch in the camera that senses thew card. If that is malfunctioning the camera won't know a card is installed. But it should give you a "No card" message on the LCD.

Give Canon a call at 1-800-OK-CANON.

Just as an idea,what may have gone wrong with the camera?

You could try this if you are comfortable with a little precision work. The stuck switch is sometimes a cause of not detecting a card.

It is broken. Sorry to be snarky, but there is really no way to tell.
