Oh maybe a few dozen. People bend the pins. sometimes the boards develop stress cracks and you get R/W errors usually intermittent. Some CF cards are more prone to bending than others. I have one that simply wouldn't seat on my 1ds but it did on my Rebel. Incidentally, I bought the rebel as-is. It had broken and bent pins. Took me the better part of a day to rebuild the card cage with pins from an old palmtop and a lot of epoxy. Thae cage is soldered on to the main board and is almost impossible to remove. Anyway, I believe in leaving the card in there and not removing it unless I have to. It's my preference. Javier
