Is it unpatched or chipped?

Unpatched delete everything on the SD and reboot.

FYI SD reader might be easy and cheap to fix if the broken pin is on the removable board and not the motherboard...

Does it work? Sometimes it works but is in 1 bit mode. It will work but be slow as hell.

Are you sure the mother board pins are broken and not the sd reader board pins?

Are you missing any pins?

Just look at the pins, since you take the SD card flex off, if you are missing pin it won't be running at full speed, you might be in 1 bit mode, just look if you are missing any pins, if no missing pin, you might want to use a multimeter.

Can you upload a picture of the motherboard pins?
