    I have a acer aspire 1710 a very good machine but now with a defect
    When putting in a pcmcia card somebody has broke my pcmcia reader so the small pins are touching each other now my laptop won't boot anymore. (i think it's because it is causing a power problem.
    Is there a way to disconnect the pcmcia reader from the mainboard so it has now power anymore ?
    Pulling the pins back straight isn't possible i think.

    yes, but If I remove the keyboard there is a iron construction before you can reache it, from the behind it is also not accessable
