This is a warning for those new to sd2vita adaptor.
My adaptor arrived yesterday, I put my sd card in but I find it hard to slide the card in - like there's something blocking it. Eventually I managed to push it in and it works fine, all the games shows up and I can play them. So I removed the sd and put it in my PC to install some new games. Afterwards when I put the sd card back into the sd2vita, it stopped working - Vita reported corrupted files.
I removed the sd, slide it back in and put the sd2vita back, now there's no orange blinking lights anymore. After 30 mins of frustration, I decided to open up the adaptor.
I am shocked to find all the pins bent, twisted and broken inside. That's what blocking the sd card when I slide it in - those long pins inside! Who designed pins like that? It's like they intentionally make you break it so you will spend money to buy new ones.
No R4 or Sky3ds or any adaptor I ever use has pins sticking out like like. If you bought a sd2vita you need to be very careful when sliding the sd card in. Pressed down on the top of adaptor when you put the sd in (this will keep the pins down) and slide the sd in very slowly to make sure you don't bend the pins.
