I have a different SD card adapter with the LEDs in a different location, i just took a bracket from a CF card adapter and used it on there. even though the slot is larger on the bracket, it still worked fine.

Well, got another one from Ebay today. Wrapped in 3 layers of thin bubble wrap only.. no antistatic bag, and crammed into a USPS flat rate box. Seller listing said the board was working, but upon arrival, about half the capacitors are bloated, one with a hole in it. The seller shipped it with heavy …
