How to fix an SD card with a broken read-only lock

I bought this SD card from a Chinese eBayer for half the retail price. It took about a week for the plastic read-only lock to break off. Damn thing just fell out. Last time I EVER buy a media card with a read-only lock (its optional per SD card specifications). This, as you may know, renders the card unwriteable since a media card reader thinks that the card is write-protected if the notch isn’t filled. Now, how do I convince the card reader the notch is filled? I give it a little band-aid.

The supplies:

1. SD card with a broken read-only lock
2. Cutting plier or wire cutter
3. Medium size paper clip
4. Krazyglue

All the medium size paper clips around the office that day were the same exact height as the plastic lock that broke off, lucky me. I cut it to length using a cutting plier for a clean edge and put a dab (a DAB!!) of superglue on there. I let it dry and gave it a test run. Yay, it works. Permanently set to read/write and works flawlessly.
