How To fix the R4 MicroSD adapter

So you bought an R4 for your DS and the microSD adapter doesn't work. You probably don't want to send it back to hong kong. Here's an easy fix.

I received my R4i sdhc card last week, and the package also includes a USB card reader like yours, it is working fine so far, thanks for your guide, useful, i will need it in future. I just want to buy r4i sdhc 3ds later, another reader, the reader is very cheap but a must have for our sd card.

You wouldn't use the whole roll >.> It could cost less than 10 cents, depending on how mush you use. You can use your neighbour's duct tape and he wouldn't care.
