[QUOTE="Localhorst86, post: 7841416, member: 351627"] So, a few days ago I received my EZ-Flash Reform and it's working fine. However, when I first inserted it into my GBA i was worried about the ammount of force I had to put in to get it inserted. The same happened with the DS-Lite shell that it came with. The card also felt as if it was catching up somewhere in the GBA when I pulled it out. So I took a closer look at the card and to me it seems as if the angle the PCB is placed in the case is simply too high which causes this issue. Inside the cases "front" side you'll see this little standoff. [ATTACH]114818[/ATTACH] As you can see it consists of two "levels" of thickness with the smaller diameter fitting through the hole on the EZ-Flash Reform PCB. I decided to take a cutter knife to cut down the part with the wider diameter, where the PCB rests on. [ATTACH]114817[/ATTACH] By reducing this height about half a milimeter (1/280th of a banana) I got a considerably better result when inserting or removing the cartrdige from a GBA or a DS-Lite. So if you suffer from the same issue, you might want to try this fix as well. It's too bad that the EZ-Flash Team was not able to create a shell that fits properly, but we are not helpless little children, are we? Note that you still should remove the card carefully, particulalry on a GBA it feels to me that the cutout for the micro SD can get caught up on the triangular "cartridge rails" inside the GBA slot. Your mileage may vary. [ATTACH]120552[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
