The plastic on the right side of the SD card slot is broken. As you can see, the inserted SD card gets raised up on that side. However, the actual metal contacts aren't broken, so as long as I press down on the SD card to get it to lay flat, the raspberry pie still functions. It seems like something that should be easy to fix. I mean maybe I could get a paperclip around it. Another idea would be to find a flat, sturdy piece of plastic and super-glue it over the slot to form a closed slot. It takes a bit of force though to keep the SD card flat, which is why I'm thinking it might possibly be a good idea to break the other side of the slot, as that's what's causing it to lift up. Any suggestions would be welcome, thanks!
