Look around on eBay. Seems when I had the problem there was a tool that was available that was called a CF pin straightener. It was for pins that were slightly out of lime. It looks like a metal CF card, but to opening for the pins are tapered to gather in out of line pins.

Also If you can find a small eye glass screw driver, you can use it to push the out of line pin back and then use a CF Card to see if you have it fixed.

Before you start putting metal items into the CF slot, take the battery out of the camera.

Good luck and not to be critical, take your time when you insert a CF card into your camera. You can feel when it is right. Don't force it at all.

Quite awhile ago I decided to copy all my slides into digital.
These date back to the 1940's, the very early ones were B/w. These slides were mainly 35mm, but with quite a few 828, 2-1/4 sq. mixed in. With a few different brands of color film were used, therefore some have stood time better than others, some need salvage help via a photo editor.
Srarted with my scanner but soon changed to this home made copy stand and a cheap digital camera. Presently I am using a better P&S camera and at present I have copied up to 1972, then into a PSE editor and saved with a descriptive file name. So still a ways to go. A winter project. Have a look at http://www.pbase.com/paulm2/image/92726077
for the stand, and this URL for a picture of my Dad that I copied from a slde with the home made stand. http://www.pbase.com/paulm2/image/104225035
Good Luck
