Same thing as I had for 2 years, for me it was that you need to make sure the connecter is fully pushed in. If it still doesn’t work it may be a faulty socket on the board (don’t quote me on that).

I was in the same situation. After closer inspection, my socket was bad. I had missing pins. So I had someone replace it for me and it started working again. Replacing the socket requires micro-soldering, beyond my skills.

I am also in the same situation. I did notice that while the switch is on, I can get the switch to detect the replacement reader if I press down on the connector at a certain angle. But I need a more permanent solution. I can’t be playing with the back open like that.
