phew! got my LX3 back after sending it yesterday! while walking out frm the service center I actually saw a small edge of my SD card cracked n broke. and true enough I got a 'lashing' frm service tech. 'please don't use ur sd card already. I found a piece stuck inside. next time same thing happen you have to pay 130 bux!'

hheheheh. damn! take good care of ur SD cards shutters!

Be careful when you handle the SD card. One of the plastic ribs of my card broke and got stuck at the slot. I cut off the rib and now use wire for direct transfer.
