In there is a small yellow component on the board that might be a reed switch [?] that looks to be intact and connected.

OK - I have no idea what I just did, but the card is now being recognized (!)

I don't believe in magic and abhor a mystery so perhaps it [the magnet] had been slightly dislodged and in my pushing at the it I slightly moved it back into a position where it's influence is now recognized.

Thanks again all!
