So today, after having a broken sd card reader for almost year I finally ordered a new one. I managed to replace it with only one broken screw lol. It worked fine at first: I was able to boot into Nyx and do a complete NAND backup. After I did that, I decided to restart Hekate, but once it loaded up again, I got a message that the SD card is in 1 bit mode or something. So I opened up the Switch again, pressed a little more onto the connector and closed it up again. Once I restarted, it stopped working. Completely. OFW doesn't see the SD card anymore, neither does Hekate. I tried everything: disconnect the reader, reconnect it again, loosen the screw on the reader so it has a bit more room - nothing works. The pins on both the reader and the board seem to be intact, so I'm really confused as to what is happening. Any help?
 
It's what you read on the pop up.
Your sd card reader is either not properly seated or a pin broke on the motherboard connector because of many ejections/insertions. You can still use CFW and OFW. But the sd performance will be a mere 5MB/s until you repair that.
 
better get to a repair shop they can fixed Not Nintendo one of course or a technician that you may know have you checked the pins with magnifying glass and also the traces around the connector on the motherboard
