Hello. One of the pins in my DS's Slot-1 fell out today, and i am mad, since it won't read any game i put in there. Is there any way i can repair it?

I have had some success pulling things around in the past (I am guessing it fatigued and probably left enough for you to pull a bit up to make a connection) but in reality you are going to want to replace it.
http://www.amazon.com/Slot-Card-Socket-Nin.../dp/B0035EOYZ0/ They are available on many sites and you might be able to shave off a dollar or two so do what you will. As far as I am aware they are all from the same supplier unlike cases so quality should not be an issue.
Snip the pins off first or risk pulling a trace when you remove the entire "shroud" which is annoying to have to repair.

Does a nice job on some basic surface mount techniques you can pull off easily enough.

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons. -

SylverReZ:
Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain
I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though -

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
