Hi all,

Not that long ago I got a very good deal on a second hand Nokia N900, and I love it!

The other day I went to insert an SD card, and noticed that the SD card slot is broken (I think). All the pins are there, but the tray is missing.

I tried just resting the SD card on top of the pins. Didn't work. Then I tried putting a small bit of wire on top of the SD card so that the N900s back cover would push on the wire, which would push the SD card onto the pins. That also didn't work (df -h doesn't see it).

As all the pins seem to be there I feel I should be able to get the phone to 'see' the card. I'm wondering if the SD tray locks the slot when it's open, and if it might be stuck in the locked position?

If I have to live without an SD card I'll manage, but it would be good to have one. Any ideas?
