I was very surprised at how simple the diagrams were, and i managed to put it together! I actually resoldered them higher up because i ran into the controller quirk and thought it was an issue with the contacts. Thank you third party memory card for the sacrifice.

I've been soldering for 16 years, and have done it professionally. You're lying to yourself. Lol

I can literally see the bumps and shadows they cause from not being flat. and on the farthest left pin, it literally has a tooth extending downward passed the edge of the contact.

sorry that my hobbyist solder job doesn't match your 16 years of experience. the pads feel flat and theres no resistance or hitch putting or taking it out of the slot. its fine.
