- Thanks Typrice but I have been quoted btween £150 - £200
to replace the whole card slot unit so should I still have a go at trying to bend it back and if so how? Thanks
If you have a light touch and long slender object like a paperclip or micro-tool you can attempt to straighten it if the bend is not too severe. If it is, you may just break it off. If you don't feel comfortable doing this by all means take it to a service tech. Easy does it.
If you try to fix it, you will only bend the adjacent pins. Let a service tech do it.

- If your only choice is to try it yourself, then you might try something like a thin set of tweezers or a tool like a dental pick. Please be careful and good luck.

When looking at images in the cardreader, extra folders appear with Chinese or Japanese symbols and large numbers of my images are missing. Is this similar to your problem and have you found a solution?
