Hardware Does this look normal

Removed my sd card reader and found this. Is this normal? Tia

i see corrosion and a connector missing 2 pins i tink should be there, but nothing major.corrosion is something that happens to every electronic device.
whenever there's a connector, there will be corrosion eventually.
but i don't like the missing pins, they look to be wired... (larger connector right under)

Is there anything i can do about the missing pins. Foil?

Let's step back for a sec - Why did you remove the SD reader? Does it not work? Has it ever been removed before?

i suppose you could carefully make a replacement pin by using a thin solid core wire, but foil doesn't seem a good idea, and i'm not certain it's a flaw... better leave it for now, only repair what's failing in the first place and remove corrosion.
the corroded connector (the small one), i would recomend replacing it. looks like standard usb or something, at least it's 4 pins... should be able to find a reseller of such ports.

the sd card reader connector is missing 4 pins Not 2

You need a new connector. This is what it should look like.

Bought the part £4 , being charged £40 to replace it.

At least one of those pins was a ground. :^)
