Hacking Acekard 2i has a spring mechanism?

[Tachyon1986]

So, I bought this Acekard2i recently (replacing my R4). The first time I tried to push a MicroSD in , I felt some sort of resistance..almost as if a spring was there. In fact, I couldn't even insert the card in. I applied a little more pressure, and the card finally went in. Now, I can remove/insert the card easily (like the springless R4).

However, I'm curious. Did I accidentally break the spring (assuming the Acekard 2i has a spring) ? The Acekard 2i is working fine though.

my ak2i comes with the spring and i am having the same experience like you!
however, it works to my favour now my ak2i can either be a spring loaded slot or i can just slot it in manually

No, you did not break the spring the first time I tried putting my Micro SD in my Acekard2i it was the same. I personally do not use the spring though.

Heh.. well, all's well that end's well I guess

. I like it this way though , wish they'd remove the springs on all future builds.

Acekards 2 usually come with a spring loaded slot, but you may also receive one with a regular slide in, which I prefer as well.
