KEH.com advertises repairs with the same basic price.  I haven't checked today, but when I was contemplating getting my K-5II repaired it was about the same, actually a little less, at $300. I think they actually care about customer service because it does look like you can contact them.  Ultimately I found it to be less expensive to replace the K-5II, but then again I didn't own a K-1.

As an outside chance, have you tried another SD card ?

Yes, I've tried multiple slots.

Does it work in the #2 slot?

The #2 slot works just fine.

I took a look inside, I saw the piece the #2 slot has that the #1
doesn't. I was able to press down on remains of that piece so it went
"in and clicked", then when I put a card in, I couldn't take it out
until I got a long needle, reached in next to the card and pressed down
on the remains of that little metal bit.

I would now be concerned that there is a loose bit inside the body that could interfere with or damage the rest of the workings.

I would be also, but it costs $353, plus shipping, to get it repaired whether it's a mainboard or a cheap little piece of metal.  There is also no way of contacting them via email.

I figure that the less that I have to do with precision camera the better my life will be.

Meanwhile, my 256G SD cards arrived today, so it should be a very rare circumstance that I'll need to replace the memory cards
