I was testing a lens when I accidentally inserted the CF Card the wrong orientation and bent a pin. I noticed when I couldn’t get the card to seat directly. I also noticed that the blue light on the printer icon was illuminated on the back of the camera.
Well, I removed the battery and was able to straighten out the offending pin and now the CF card seams to seat correctly. But when I try to power up the camera: nada! No sign of life.
Can bent pins in the CF reader fry a camera?
