sd card reader is smoking?

[Nick_dnepr]

okay, i have just disassembled my pinephone. i can't detect any shortages, there is just a metal plate above the contacts. i will assemble it back and try a couple of other cards

Glad to hear!

Hopefully you are able to get to the bottom of this. Probably worth documenting exactly what happened to release smoke so that the whole community and future devices can potentially benefit.

I removed the back cover, inserted sd card #1, very soon found out it is smoking, removed battery. inserted sd card #2, powered it on, it worked fine. removed the battery, inserted sd card #1, powered it on, burnt my finger because it was extremely hot, removed the battery again. then i tried to plug sd card #1 into my pc through usb card reader and it worked just fine.
