Take it to a mobile phone repair shop. Tell them that you have a video game console that needs the SD card slot replacing.

The micro SD Card reader was already replaced two times, and they didn't "charged" anything more than USD$5 because it doesn't need soldering.

The problem is the micro SD Card reader pins in the side of the motherboard (where the reader connects to), are broken. And no phone shop has told me they know/can do it.

It's a guy who specifically fixes Switch consoles who charges USD$100 for fixing that and USD$50 for fixing the joy con rail broken connectors.

Rail has nothing to do SD card

you didn't read the entire thread, the rail is related to the problem.

The console is the one with the rail connector broken, not the joycon.

Thanks.

Already bought two SD Card readers, but none worked. It seems the motherboard connetor for the micro SD Card Reader is broken, and I don't know how to fix it.

Yes, I know they sell that part too, but I don't know how to "solder" it.

So, just wanted to boot OFW without removing AutoRCM while I saved up money for getting someone else to fix it.

Mine stopped working and two new SD readers did not fix, I used small pliers to gently squeeze the mainboard connector ()

I had an SD reader issue, 2 new ones didn't fix it, what did fix it was gently squeezing the connector with small pliers (in the direction of the red arrows) then the new SD readers both worked.
