I have experienced this. What worked for me was scrubbing the metal
contacts on the card with a piece of cloth. The problem has come back
two times afterwards though.

The problem seems to be 770-specific: I too have had no problems with
other mmc readers (reading the same card)... Maybe the 770 contacts are
not tight enough?
