Welcome to the forum.

Err, card reader? Do you mean the slot in the camera which you insert the SD card into for the camera to write the image files onto?

I would expect a card reader to be a USB device which you plug into your computer to off load the images to the computer...

If the former, I have never been into a D3200 but component level repairs can be very tricky, the ribbon cables are very fragile and the slot into which you insert them are even more fragile. The fact that you are asking how, suggests to me that you lack the knowledge/experience and technical expertise to do the job. Suggest you find a competent camera service shop. You don't mention your whereabouts, if in the UK, I could recommend Advanced Camera Services at Watton, Norfolk or try searching for Nikon repair shops.

If you aren't put off by my cautions, try looking for a how to video on You-Tube,or visit Life Pixels website where they have some teardown info on some Nikon cameras. Might not cover D3200 though...


The latter is a simple matter of plugging it into the USB socket on your computer, but I'm sure you knew that.

If it's an internal card reader then it's a pretty simple task to replace the card reader unit complete.
