Hi, as embarrassing as this is to admit, while trying to put my micro sd card into my phone I accidentally inserted the micro sd into my phone upside down. It got lodged in and while trying to shimmy it out I accidentally pulled out an unidentifiable piece of hardware. The phone still works fine though I double checked everything (Calling, touch screen, internet, etc.) But I can safely say that I won't be able to insert any micro sd cards. Does anyone know if any guides on the internet (Preferably video as to how to take the phone apart and order the right parts to fix my honor 5x?
Watch jerryrigeverything on youtube... He not only teaches on how to take the phone apart but also links to extra parts...

hi guys,
recently i had a problem with my card slot, first it was very good reading all storage cards then it started reading it sometimes and sometimes not then suddenly it cannot read a single storage card.
the thing is i have no idea if my wife did put the storage card upside down, but i know i did not mess with it.
any ideas on what to , is it an IC problem or need to replace the whole slot?
i don't think so, you should format your SD card to FAT, it is used for BA
If the SD card works Ok in other device... there are 2 lateral metalic parts:
- to detect if the card is read only
- To detect if the card is there (the bottom one)
See if they are OK if the bottom one fails... it does not detect the card.
If you cannot fix it by yourself, try the guys from http://www.apexlaptops.co.uk/
I broke 2 times my SD card reader and sent them for repair.. (bit expensive) but fixed OK.
But now I think the only problem those times was the bottom lateral metal thing.
Good exploration
Finally got the 16 gig sd card I ordered for my atrix. Popped it in. Phone doesn't recognize it.
Tried the 8 gig out of my nexus one. Same issue.
Anyone else have this issue? Am I doing something wrong? Time to exchange the phone?
Try power cycling the phone with the SD card installed.
There's a note in the online manual somewhere, you're supposed to MOUNT and FORMAT the sdcard before first time use.
I'm using a 16gb microsdhc that was formatted previously. Didn't issue the mount command, but the phone is using it with no complaints.
Mount. Format. Wait for 32gb prices to drop.<G>
I used 32GB Sandisk SD card & worked perfectly fine. I don't have to format the card to use it.
16gb adata here. no issues. was already formatted and loaded with music and pictures after being used in captivate.
I found that I had an issue with the small brass contacts that tell the phone that there is a card inserted. Drove me nuts.
as you hold the card right-side up (card slots at bottom) at the bottom left edge of the sd slot, between the sd and sim, you will see the two brass contacts.
With no sd card in, put enough pressure on them to give better tension - not too much else it might think you always have a card in.
no more problems for me - hope for you as well
32GB sandisk class 4 no issues here
I had a similar issue. I thought it wasn't recognizing my card but it actually wasn't properly contacting the SD-card slot. I got it to work with some adjusting.
Same, purchased Sandisk 32GB .. inserted, powered on, unmounted, formatted, waited about 2 minutes and then mounted .. no issues ..
bad sd socket / slot
hi,
I had the same problem using my 8gb sandisk microSD, that I previously used in my old Nokia. It wouldn't recognize that it was even inserted. I tried pulling it out and inserting again it several times without any luck, until I tried inserting it and drawing it as far out as the plastic flip that holds it in would let me. Then it worked right away, -no need for formatting or even mounting.
I had problems with a PNY card. Atrix would not see it at all to mount, unmount, format.............anything. I ended up removing and reinstalling the card with the phone powered on just as a "what if" and it popped up right away. I was able then to format and mount and have had no issues since.

This resolved my long lasting problem. Thanks buddy.
Hey all,
So i go to check for a file on my sd card today and i noticed that the phone can't find it. I double check that it is snuggly plugged in, but nothing shows up. I placed the sd card in my old captivate and that reads it fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
EDIT** it seems that no sd card is being recognized by the phone, almost like its turned off?
An issue with the phones SD card connectors has been reported here in a couple of the SD card threads. The fix is to turn off the phone, remove the SD card, and using a pin or tiny screw driver carefully bend the two connectors that normally press up against the contacts on the SD card. Just don't bend them too much. Put the SD cardback, in power up the phone and you should be good.
Thanks for the reply, i got the phone off and the sd card out and i'm trying to look at the connectors but with the metal strip that holds the sd card on, its hard to see the connectors / get to them. Any tips on that?
EDIT** well i thought i broke it haha, but it's actually working now
Thanks =)
Hello all!
I am going to start work on adding a usb micro sd card reader to the nexus 9. I started off by taking off the nexus 9 backplate (very easy, just need a finger nail to get the clips undone) and you are immediately greeted with the internals of the tablet. The first thing I noticed is an indentation for what I believe to be where the micro sim card would go for the LTE version of the tablet, it could also be a place were they were going to put a micro sd expansion slot but may have ruled it out in the end. I also noted that there is some grooves for routing wires down to the micro usb slot, which would definitely make it easier to keep the wires clean looking. the micro sd card adapter I was thinking of using is this one: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Nano-Mo...6610073&sr=1-10&keywords=micro+sd+card+reader
I would end up tripping of the usb connector for the reader and soldering wires straight from the read to the mobo.
Take a look at the pictures enclosed and let me know if you have any suggestions.
Stay tuned! More updates to come!
You beet me to this
I will most likely do this
You're looking to take over the usb connection as OTG? Or?
@minnieman
if your going to use this as an OTG
you will need to have a switch to turn it off

Duely noted.
Nice idea but this is definitly the wrong forum for this. Not Original Android development. This belongs in the general section.
Any progress yet?
Don't know if came across this threads. soldering a micro sd card has been tried before, maybe you can find some useful info here.

This is the (electric) solution.
But with a Tablet....

Quick question op regarding removing the back panel. Were there any issues with the camera coming off as well? In ifixit's tear down they said the camera popped off along with the back panel because it was too snug. I will be taking mines off but have been hesitant because if this.
Hey, any updates on this?
I bought a used international Tab S3 with a broken sd/sim card tray stucked inside the tray slot. Previous owner had taken it in to a cell phone store hoping they can help but no go. I sent it in to an authorized Samsung repair center but they won't touch it because it is an international version. Anybody have any idea to pull this broken tray out?
Do you have a photo? Needle-nose pliers?
No photo yet. But the SD card slot is real small. Needle nose plier is out of the question. The only thing that will fit into that slot is a sewing needle.
Tweezers then?
There are 'phone repair tool kits' out there that provide a whole bunch of tools to disassemble phones/tablets. Perhaps you could take it apart to better get to the SD card slot to push the broken piece out? There are some youtube videos on how to breakdown and reassemble Samsung tablets and phones (I didn't see any specific to the Tab S3 but how different could it be?).
Try a hoover, something with a bit of sucking power.
