Raspberry Pi Sd Card Slot Replacement
When i touch the sd card slot on the pi it s extremely hot.
Raspberry pi sd card slot replacement. The raspberry pi expects the sd card det signal connected to one of the right most pads to be connected to gnd when the card is inserted. This is shown in the figure below. Now all i m missing is the part number for the sd card slot. From the model b 2014 onwards a micro sd card is required.
Choosing an appropriate replacement slot. First we need to know how the sd card slot of the raspberry pi is built up. The plastic alignment pins do not line up with the holes in the circuit board. They just completely stop working.
Sorry it is hand drawn and everything but i really didn t have the time to make proper figures on the computer. The pinout isn t exactly the same either. You would pi too if it happened to you just as i was finishing up my last blog post the review of adafruit pi cobbler my foot snagged on a network cable and hoiked my pi onto the floor it landed on the sd card and the feeble card slot took no prisoners. Cut the plastic pins on the bottom flush and check the fit on the raspberry pi.
If someone here maybe someone from the original designers can help me with a part number it ll be highly appreciated. Thank you very much yoav. So i shorted the 2 right most pads not connected to a card slot pin and shorted them to the nearby ground tab on the card slot. I have thru hole and smt soldering experience and i wish to replace the sd card slot completely.
I ve sent the first card for replacement and luckily they gave me a new one. They need to be removed to allow the card slot to lay flat on the circuit board. We recommend buying the raspberry pi sd card which is available here as well as from other retailers. The brand is sandisk 256gb.
