Failure after Power Outage

I had a brief power outage (even on a UPS) and my PI 3 has stopped working. Red light's on - but green just keeps blinking indefinitely. I've powered off multiple times, tried to reset the SD card, sometimes no green at all etc.....still not working and I can't reach it or see it on my network. I'm wondering if the SD card somehow got corrupted and wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I'm using a Sandisk Ultra 16GB.

I have a spare 4gb that I'm going to load the software and see if that works which will tell me it's the card...doing that this afternoon and I'll report back. Is there a way to reformat the 16gb card since its a multi-partition now.....or would I have to buy a new one?

Thanks for any advice!

I've confirmed that my SD Card somehow must have been corrupted in the power outage because I created a new SD card and it works great......we've had outages before - but something happened in this outage....bummer!

Not sure if I can get my old card back or replace files or reformat??? Any suggestions or am I out of luck?

Thanks!
