Wouldn't boot from SD, now won't even power on

I figured it out!
Thanks for all the tips. I had tried those suggestions before my original post, but I tried them again and a few other things.
In the end I tried flashing the sd card from a different computer with built-in sd card slot. After that, everything worked as expected and the phone booted from the SD right away and installation resumed no problem. It seems the usb card reader I was using was the issue, though it seemed to be working correctly, somehow the image was corrupted during the flashing or ejecting of the card.
