\nProblem description:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The SD card reader slot on iMac\/MBP has stopped picking up the SDHC cards. When insert a card, it fails to mount. This used to work fine, and still does if a card is inserted while booting up. But after it has been ejected, it will fail to mount again.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I searched through the entire Internet but could not find information on how to fix the problem and how the SD Reader looking inside.<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A year later when I discovered a problem with SD Card Reader in my iMac 27″ (late 2010) I decided to fix it myself.
\nI’ve ordered the SD Card Reader on Ebay.com<\/span><\/a> and special MAC toolkit<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Follow to Instructions by IfixIt.com<\/span><\/a> ,\u00a0 step by step,\u00a0 I have finally fixed long-term problem successfully and myself.<\/p>\n

Later I’ve open the bad SD Card Reader and found that problem in the micro contact group (bad in connection<\/em>). So in my case this is HARDWARE problem. This device is VERY DIFFCULT to repair. Better to buy new one.<\/p>\n
