Is there any place to find a reliable Micro SD Card Reader?

Hi, I'm trying to find a place that can replace my New 3DS XL's microSD card reader, the problem with it is that it can't read any of the supported microSD cards I insert into it. So I plan on ordering a replacement for it. Granted, there's no guide for it but I'll wing it considering that the Game Reader guide and also the teardown exists, even though I have no experience with ZIF connectors. Problem is that the part in question is out of stock on this site, so is there any other reliable places I can find for a similar part that's in stock?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Okay, so I'm back and while I have the parts, I'm cursed with another stripped screw.

So I tried the super glue two times in different attempts. First one didn't work, second one ALSO didn't work and now it's creating this white substance that's on the screw, likely from the superglue I used, and it has dripped down. I have no idea on how to clean it, let alone what to do at this point.

Hi!

You can find them on Amazon, or AliExpress!

Example: OEM SD Card Slot Reader Socket for 3DS/ New 3DS/New 3DS XL LL Console Replacement Repair Parts - AliExpress

It's not hard to replace it fortunately!

When you are going to replace it, take all your time, don't rush things. Also be really carefull when opening an ZIF connector.

If you need anything else, please let us know!

The new 3dsXL 2015 SD Card Cartridge Reader Slot is not difficult to obtain, but the 3dsXL 2012 SD Card Reader Slot is extremely rare. Currently, only Kasynparts has it in stock.
