    Question help with CANON A75!!

    after letting my friend borrow my camera, i went to insert my memory card and it wouldn't go in. after examination it appears one of the copper pins that fits into the card was bent.
    If i could reach the pin, it could easily be bent back.

    Is there a way to remove the back of the camera so i can staighten out the pin or am i going to have to take it in and get it fixed? Being low on funds, any insight would be greatly appreciated!!!

    I'd highly recommend taking it in. Any warranty will be void if you tamper with it.

    I would recomend getteing a small flat head screwdriver. I do this when I get a CPU with bent pins. Just carefully insert the screwdriver beside the pin and very, very carefully push it back into place.

    Good luck,
