That slot

is part of the logic board. Like all the other ports and the Graphics Chip it's not really a user replacement item.

That's not to say it couldn't be done, but you'll find it cost prohibitive to:

A). find a replacement part and

B). find someone with the skills and equipment needed to replace it.

IMnsHO it would make more sense to replace the logic board, OR if that's the only problem get an external (USB) card reader.

Remember to return and mark accepted the answer that best solves your problem.

Good luck,

Hi buddy,

I had damaged the pins inside the connectors on the sd card slot.

I would like to order from eBay a faulty one so i can swap just the slot.

I would like to know if you can answer me this;

I have macbook Pro 13" inch mid-2012. Is the same sd card slot on 2011 and 2010 mids?

As the spare logic boards is cheaper on older models.

Thank you.

You can replace the I/O Board which is NOT the motherboard. It's not expensive at all.
