SD Card Reader Not Working After Replacement?

Block Image

Replaced the SD card reader in my Switch and it still doesn’t work, but the pins on the socket look fine, and I was wondering if maybe the reader I got was faulty because it clicks out just fine but makes no click when inserting, just like the one that I replaced. Is this still a socket issue or is my hunch correct?

Edit: added photos to show the socket is fine and the reader is properly connected, you can’t lift this thing and take a picture without it doing it’s own thing though, but I promise I know how and it is the way it should be.

Replaced new reader with old reader and now it works, concluding it as a dirty socket.

Any problem that involves a replacement then show different symptoms than the original problem generally point to an installation error. In the case of your reader, it might also be a bad reader. 1st verify the installation.

I have verified the socket pins are all accounted for and the socket clean, as well as have lifted the reader before screwing down to ensure that I firmly and completely connected the reader to the socket. Nothing.

Could still be a bad reader (bad replacement part) and thus the best thing to do is to return it and get yourself a new one! The SD card is all fine, I presume?
