Hello there. I have the same problem with my APM 2.0. I did both ways to start my dataflash card but it didn't work. I put some extra thicknes backward of the card but it didn't work. I also powered the board without dataflash card then re-power after put it back but it didn't work either. What can I do?
My APM works ok but it does not log anything and gives an error in the terminal mode. I don’t use logs so it’s no big deal for me. I get all my information from TM.
I found the flash card did not make good contact with the socket. This caused no data flash inserted errors and failure to boot errors.
I placed a small piece of electrical tape on the back of the card and eased it into the socket, the added thickness fixed the integrity with the contacts.

I have same problem "no data flash inserted" and my 3.3V regulator is good. My APM is a V2.5.2.
Any link for how to replace the flash data?
Thanks
Jim

This is a common problem with APM2.0 and the 'extra thickness' tape is one solution.
I burnished the card contacts (not the onboard connector) with an eraser, lightly, to resolve my 'lost flash' issue.
APM2.5 has a better/improved flash card socket.
