Fixing an SM Card Slot

Post by estragon »

Hi all,
It seems that the card slot in my 303 is busted - there's a small wedge of plastic stuck in there. This is how I received it. Any tips on getting these fixed?

Take some tweezers and do not touch the contacts and gently pull that wedgie out.

Done - turned out to be an SD card full of photos of the guy I bought it from (he denies having anything to do with it). Worked for a little while, but now it won't power up with a smartmedia card in the slot. I'm assuming one or more of the pins are bent, creating a short - does anyone have any experience in opening up the slot and fixing this issue? Roland quoted me $110AU minimum for repairs, I'd prefer not to pay that much.
