In my possession. Has anyone ever had to replace their
reader? What am I looking at on this job?


Hi ..welcome

Can i ask how you KNOW the camera reader is faulty? Presumable the card has been checked on another camera...so you know it's not the card itself at fault?

As Robert said, try googling Lifepixel. They convert bodies to Infra Red and as they also supply filters for DIY enthusiasts they have sequential photo instructions for stripping down various cameras. I did a D70 conversion several years ago and the instructions were very useful.

Although they direct you to the sensor, I remeber exposing the contacts for the card reader while burrowing into the circuit boards...so their instructions may help.
