New purchase

Hey, new to the forums. I just upgraded from MPC 500 to 1000 but have an issue...

I bought it brand new, and after reading the instructions found it very similar so there are no problems with using the thing but...As I insert my card it was kinda though. I did not force it but when I looked inside, about 8 of the prongs are crooked. Anyone else have this problem? Or the price to get it fixed? I didnt do anything wrong as I know of so did I just get screwed over or something....?

If you bought it new then you destroyed the pins. Take it back. ANd next time be careful. Its a common issue on the 1k and it usually happens when someone forces the card.....

Yeah before I upgraded I did hear a lot of flack about the pins being an issue, I tried to be careful but I guess I **** them up anyway....Will they fix it free or will I have to pay to get it fixed? Never had any issues with my 500 before lol....or had to contact them for anything

If you got it new take it back. Put the card in and tell them that it hasnt fully functioned since purchase and you would like to exchange it. Either way it was a $125 mistake

Use a pen to move all the pins back.

At this point anything is worth a shot.

Tried that recently and didnt work. The company I ordered it through is sending me another and told me to send the current one back. I guess im fortunate...I never had this issue with my 500, and I made sure not to force it in and somehow like 8 of the prongs were haywire...
