I had to glue the sheet-metal back down to the PCMCIA connector on an old 8MB
Cisco Router's flash RAM card a while back. It wouldn't fit into the slot all
the way, but when I would press the metal to the connector before I would put
it in, it would fit.
I've 'reclaimed' several cards myself, the one I'm most proud of was one where
the write protect switch was completely destroyed from over-usage. I just
soldered the card into the R/W position and everything worked.
Responding to MKow1234_at_aol.com's comment:
||In addition, the corner edge of the flash card's
||sheet metal covering was pulled up slightly, which prevented the card from
||being
||inserted all the way into the PCMCIA slots. I tried to get the card to work,
||but it would only go into a slot about two-thirds of the way.
