I got the message "THIS MEMORY CARD ANNOT BE USED. CARD MAYBE BE DAMAGED. INSERT ANOTHER CARD." when I turn on the camera (Nikon D5100).

I have gotten this message before when the SD card was actually damaged. However I don't have a card in the camera and this message is appearing. There is no way for me to exit and get out of it.

Anyone have the same issue before?

Have you done a hard-reset to factory defaults (consult your manual for the procedure) and/or removed the battery and left the camera to sit for at least 30min?

If both of those fail, try inserting and formatting a new, known good SD card.
 
I would second the suggestion to remove the battery.
I work with electronics and it can sometimes be remarkable how often the "turning it off and on again" routine actually works.
 
Two-button reset. Look it up if needed.
 
Maybe some debris is in the card slot since no card but camera is reading one.
 
Insert the card into your PC. When you see the window choose scan & fix. Fixed on one of my SD cards. Bill
