Hold on....you are just replacing your SD card for your Mom's original card!!!

what's on your SD?

is this stock OSF, with Android 2.1?

Is it SIM Unlocked? Rooted?

did/does the phone have ClockworkMod Recovery, or any Recovery?

[Boot holding Power(top button) and Vol down (-) buttons together, what happens?] You should get into Recovery!!!

If you have recovery, did you/she make a Nandroid Backup?

is there a custom ROM, if so which ROM?

were all Apps on Internal/Phone memory?

What Apps did your Mom have, were any on the SD card, via Froyo App2SD, or even A2SD, with a dedicated ext partition for Apps?

have you tried putting her SD card back in phone?
