I did a dumb thing yesterday. I went to insert my CF memory card in the memory card slot of my 7DII. Was not paying attention and put the card in the wrong way. I did not apply much pressure as I realized my error so I inserted the proper way but could not insert the memory card all the way. Did not force the card as I knew their was something wrong. I was going to the camera store to pick up my bonus battery grip for the 6DII I just bought on sale the week before so I had the staff look at my camera to see what the problem was. It turns out one of the pins is out of alignment and just very slightly bent. They said they could try to straighten it but no guarantees. They did not have a tool small enough anyway but suggested either sending it to Canon for repair and pay over $300 or take it to a camera repair shop to see what they could do. Called the repair shop and explained my problem. They said if it is just out of alignment they may be able to straighten the pin and the cost would be about $95. It the pin is bent too much they said the pin will break and the whole memory card slot will have to be replaced and the cost is $350-$400. A buddy of mine who has the 7D said that once the pin is bent it wont be the same and may break. That is why he never removes the memory card after he straightened a bent pin on his 30D. Has anybody else had this problem and if so how did you handle it? If I have to replace the entire memory card slot I would feel more comfortable sending the camera to Canon for repairs since it will probably cost the same.
