Pi3A+ has defective MicroSD slot
I tried firing up my new Pi3a+ today. When I inserted the MicroSD card the card slot pulled away from the PCB. I tried pushing in back but when a card is inserted the holder pulls away. Any way I can get a replacement??

Thank you.
That is in our warranty period so we can replace this Pi 3A+ for you.
FYI, I’ve done this before to one of my Pi’s. It was in a 3D printed case and I had tried to pull the Pi straight out causing the SD card to get compromised.
Please email [email protected] and request a replacement. They will need your order# and this forum thread link as authorization.
