Well, it's not that bad, but still - I inserted the device to test a couple of homebrew, later took it out and inserted my Advance Wars DS only to see "There is no DS Card inserted". I took it out, peered inside the slot to see that four of the reading pins were bent out of their place. I tried to put them back with a small, flat screwdriver, but they passively refused. What can I do? It's past the warranty date :/. I have an appropriate screwdriver from back when I was installing the Afterburner to my GBA but I'm afraid to break the slot completely. Are there spare slots on sale somewhere? :<

Thats really Bad!
On one of my Ds's, the SuperPass spoiled my Ds slot. I cant put cartridges in there anymore. When I do, it just pops back out...

Wow.. how do you do that? I've inserted a ton of PassMes into my DS, as well as my own PassMe a few hundred times and I've never bent a pin yet.
Maybe I just need to push harder?

I don't quite get how a PassMe can bend any pins at all. The damn thing is FLAT.

If you force the passme along the top side of the DS cartridge slot (the side with the pins) i imagine you could bend them.

I am so happy I used my Passkey that I converted to Passme 2 only once. I can only recommend installing Flashme, it rocks.
