D700 in which the memory card needs checking

If I can remember, I'll look in my dead D700 slot and see if it should be 49 pins. Later tonight.
 
Download from camera with cable rather than pulling card in/out if you manage to repair it.

Get latest firmware from Nikon sight or newest CF cards will not work.

My computers don't have a port for CF cards, so I've always used the cable. I didn't know there were any computers with CF ports. Or maybe there's an adapter for doing it that way.
 
There are multi card readers - inexpensive and plug & play via USB. No need for a CF card port. I do it that way for over 15 years and no broken pins on my Canon.

This could be a good way to get the D700 back in use. Do you have any recommendations on what to order for card reader? Thanks.
Do you use such a multi card reader with the CF card and just plug it into the USB port of the D700 during photography with it?
The cost seems to be quite low for a multi card reader. Much lower than the $139 plus shipping for a repair.

Also, a DIY or possible jeweler help if pins are bent:

I have sent him yesterday an email with the filled form based on his website.

His estimate on his website is $139 for a D700 repair of the card reader.

Raid, multi-cards readers are units which you plug to a computer and which allow you to read the content of the card once the card is taken off the camera.
They are either remote units you link to any kind of computer thanks to an USB wire, or units you install in the front panel of a home computer and which you connect to the computer motherboard with an internal wire.
They exist since the 1990s.
By no means could such a card reader be used to record photos when you use the D700 in lieu of the built-in camera defective card recorder-reader unit.
Send your D700 for repair and you'll be done. And once the camera is back, pay attention not to force anything when you insert the CF card in its socket. End of the story.

You are correct, I think.

:cool:
 
The multi card reader is good to have. I have a few of them, plug into the USB port and work fine. They are really inexpensive....like 5 to 10 USD.
