Yesterday, I was formatting some SD cards in my D810 when, suddenly, I could not get a card to seat in the SD slot; kept popping up. An inspection of the SD card showed that the front edge of the card had broken off (could tell from the rough plastic that was not there before) right in front of the contacts. I cannot see anything in the slot shaking, compressed air and yelling will not work.
(It sucks being me).
Will take the body to Nikon service on Tuesday in Los Angeles and see what the damage is. AND, I have a photo workshop on the 4th, so will probably have to rent something, unless it is an easy fix.
One bright side? Wife looks over and says, "well you wanted a D850, didn't you....."

I would take it to Nikon. Poking around with a paper clip or other tool risks damaging delicate contact fingers. Rent another body from Sammies if you have to. Or buy the 850 and keep the 810 as well. You can keep different lenses on them and switch cameras instead of lenses. ;)
