GDEMU sdcard slot issue

Post by ssaylanc »

I have an original GDEMU (v5.4 2014). There are two tiny tabs on each side of the sdcard slot to fit the sdcard.

One of them is broken(check the blue marker), and now %90 of times gdemu is not detecting the sdcard. Sometimes when I apply pressure,DC boots to gdemu menu, but %90 of times it reboots to the bios while playing games.

I tried to apply Scotch tape, and hot glue to put pressure on the sd card..Finally, I re-soldered the SD card solder points.
Sometimes I play for hours without any problems, sometimes it takes me to the main menu while I'm in the game, sometimes it doesn't recognize the SD card at all and takes me to the main menu.

It's starting to get annoying, what can I do about this?
Should I change the SD card slot?
