This is a time-lapse of a repair of a client’s D300s. Her Compact Flash card pin was bent to the extent that it needed to be replaced. The editing on this video was done in under 5 minutes so the quality is pretty low, but it is fun to watch.

The repair was successful. A bent Compact Flash card pin was removed and replaced with one from a donor Canon SLR (a 40D if I remember correctly) and the repair took about an hour.
