It doesn't look damaged, but I'm only looking at it without taking stuff apart. I sent it off to a relative recently who was supposed to fix the USB port, but I've no clue what he did there so I can't say. Haven't got a screwdriver small enough to check either!

Estel, thanks for that. I may look at repair shops because I'm useless with hardware and to be honest don't want my uncle fiddling around in there again.

Indeed, not only does the card work elsewhere but there are multiple cards with the same issue (that all work elsewhere and have worked in the n900 before).

Thanks both! I'll have a look into possibly repairing it!
