The card slot door of my T1i is loose and won't make contact to make the camera operable. The plastic housing for one of the screws on the inside of the door broke about a year ago, and the screw has been missing. I attempted to replace the screw, but it only exacerbated the problem. Whereas I had been able to keep the door closed and use the camera, now I'm unable to keep it closed without holding it closed with my hand. It's not possible for me to shoot that way. What are my options?

The camera is used and not under warranty.

Have you tried some duct tape?
