One of the poles on the SD Reader in my laptop is bent and wont read my SD Card now Any ideas how to fix it?? Ive straightened it up a bit by putting my SD Card in, but it still wont read it because it's a little bent. I am afraid of breaking it. :/

It's already "broken", so you might as well try. When these kind of things happen to me, I usually take a very tiny screwdriver and carefully bend it back.

^what he said

It's very difficult to do because of the way its bent (hard to explain). I think it's still covered under warranty so that's what i'll try next. Thanks for the tip though!

and I dont really want to buy an external one, I'd much rather have this fixed.
