Hardware my dsiXL sd card reader is damaged, is it replaceable by any means?

it has the pins all twisted, i want to know if i can replace the reader altogether and if it would be challenging to install the replacement? thank you

It's a very easy replacement as it is located within the bottom shell of the console. It looks like replacement parts are plentiful.

Check and IFixIt guide, keep track of your screws, and you'll have it done easily.
