I am looking for some ideas as to why my SD Card will not initialise and a possible solution if anyone else has run into this same scenario with similar hardware.
I am using a ESP32-WROOM-32D module with a 2.4" TFT (240x320) display using the TFT_eSPI and recommended SD library (the example one that comes with the Arduino IDE). I have also tried the SDFat library too with the same result. Note I also tried connecting 5v directly to the SD card Vdd pin and that also did not work. The SD_CS is still on pin 5 as per the example.
I do have a standalone SD card module that I am sure will work, I would just prefer the one on the display itself. I have other projects that use similar displays and would like to utilize it without needing to resort to additional modules.

TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI();

(The SD Card functions are actually in a separate tab called SD_Card.ino, I just moved them above the setup function)
The little green board in the second image is a 3.3v to 5v boost convertor.
