My sd card won’t lock in. It keeps popping out. Tried with 2 SD cards. Anyone have this experience and have a solution?
Thanks.
P1S
This topic comes up from time to time. The remedy is a balance between one’s ingenuity vs paying the $45 for a replacement AP board and doing the repair. On a difficulty scale of 1-10, 10 being hardest, 5 being the effort it takes to replace a desktop computer motherboard, I’d place this at a level 2. But that is subject to argument. The reason why I say it’s a 2 is because there are only 4 screws and five connectors.
However, before you there, I’d recommend blasting the slot with compressed air. It’s very likely that some particle is blocking the spring mechanism and you may get lucky and are able to blast it free. Lucky being the operative word.
This is so common an occurrence that there are tons of YouTube videos on how to repair. Here’s the search term.

Thanks. May gve i a goaftr hearing back from Bambu.
does this have anything in common with the fact my blue tooth doesn’t connect? No blue tooth, no SD. I’m locked out. 
The two functions are on the same board and replacing the board would fix both issues if the Bluetooth was in fact defective. But that said, a mechanical fault in the SD Card slot has no relevance to the Bluetooth circuit.
What Olias said.
If you order one, order an extra wifi antenna. Odds are good it’ll break when you attempt to take out the AP board.
It’s not hard, actually pretty simple.
Were you working around the AP board or SD card recently?
No, I just got the printer and there was nothing that could have fallen in. Maybe a piece of the SD card got snagged. I’m guessing Bambu will have me pay to repair it.
you’d be surprised… They replaced my LCD on my A1 mini. It was… well… touching itself… 
And they sent me a replacement! <3
