acekard 2i spring broked... wth?!

okay after i tried to fix the cheats in my memory stick. so when i tried putting it in, it wont go in, like the spring broke!

can someone help me out with this?

 

Are you pressing down until the spring goes "click"?

 

that was the first time i put it in it it did and it was fine

but the SECOND time i did, its not like bouncy (you know shows the sign of the spring) like when i took it out, somehow the spring broke. i couldnt press it down like the first time, if i did im afraid i might break the card.

EDIT: okay. this is F'ed up. i push it down, but it went a tiny bit harshed then on first time. i turned on and the it loaded up.

um. ok. weird.

 

It should work kinda if you try and jam it in there.

Or take some tape and tape it in place if it continues to happen.

Or you can open it and take the spring out. I don't think it really needs it.

 

Is that really safe to do?

 

well that what i did and apparently it worked. so yea i guess its safe. just dont jam it too hard.

 

If you know what you're doing.

 

Wait, the AceKard 2i has a spring!?

 

Certain versions. Mine doesn't for example.

 

really because i bought 3 ak2i and they all had springs maybe check if yours is a clone
check here http://www.acekard.com/news.php#79

 

100% not a clone - runs AKAIO 1.6 RC2 No spring.

The spring vs non spring issue is quite well known, the older builds are usually the ones with springs.

 

oh okay like when did you get yours i got mine like this year

 

Last year, HW ID shows it is one of the newer models.

Time of purchase isn't time of manufacture

 

i know but these guys always restock
