    Easily Fix Bent Pins in the Belkin Compact Flash Card Reader

    Easily Fix Bent Pins in the Belkin Compact Flash Card Reader
    I have the Belkin FCR-H53 multi-card reader, but these instructions will probably work for similar models.The FCR-H53 reader is fast and convenient. It reads and writes at USB 3.0 speeds, and can deal with more than one card at a time (for example, transfer files from an SD card to a CF card)., which not all readers can do.I use my reader exclusively for compact flash cards and SD cards—mostly for compact flash.The big problem, which many people comment on, is that the pins inside the compact flash slot are easily bent, which can render that slot useless. The pins are quite long (in order to penetrate the sockets in the cf card), they're thin, and the insertion slot in the reader is not shaped precisely enough to keep the card perfectly positioned as it is inserted. The result is bent pins. Note that some CF cards have beveled pin sockets, which help direct the pins into the hole, while others have just sharp-edged holes that are more demanding of a precisely aligned insertion.The attached image shows how to open the case (a very simple operation) and how to straighten the pins.Even if your Belkin reader does not have bent pins, you might do well to follow the instructions to keep the case open, so that you can visually ensure the card is inserted exactly right every time. This may sound tedious, but it's not. It will take you only 2-3 seconds extra when inserting the card, and you'll have a fast, useful, moderately priced reader that should last many years.

    Fotar mycket och behövde en bättre kortläsare till min dator än de sega jag har. Denna fungerar utan några problem för mig i Windows 10. Den har även hög läshastighet om korten klarar av det. Den medföljande usbkabeln är en specialkabel med en annorlunda kontakt i ena änden som går in i kortläsaren. Så det går inte att använda en USB-C om man skulle tappa bort den medföljande. Jag är nöjd med köpet och priset.

    El producto llego sellado y en perfecto estado. El lector es muy bueno, mi equipo lo detecto enseguida sin configurar nada, Windows 10. Lo que hace al conectarlo es crear 4 unidades, una para cada ranura. Al momento de meter una tarjeta la palabra Kingston en rojo de la parte superior se enciende, y parpadea cuando escribes o borras información en ella, excelente detalle estético. Me detecto una tarjeta dañada que no reconocian mis puertos físico del gabinete. Excelente producto.
