So we can get the sd card holder but need to solder a connection point on the board.

Ahhh....took a picture of the internals but can no longer attach pics.

Anyway once opened, to the right of the flash is the sd slot. On the far far right is the connector for the volume/power button ribbon. To the left of that there are 2 identical connectors on the board. Both are unused. The one for the sd card seems to be identical to all of them but unfortunately the connector haven't been soldered on.

Someone like a phone repairer should be able to remove 1 of the unused connectors and solder it on to the sd card point.

Edit: just noticed the pictures on the first post of the previous page.

I took a closer look of that model motherboard schematic what already has microsd card holder installed and right next to micro sd card connector (10pin) should be ~10 components, what my model P7510, is missing...

R: HW mod the device to install a microsd holder

Just thinking on a workaround...
What if we try to use the simcard reader? Is there any adapter for microsd?
Maybe we can use some of the pinouts as long as there are compatible lines...
Sim should have an amount of memory for storage seen by the device. If we can use that way to read a microsd our problem would be solved...
