How do I replace the SD card reader on Nikon D5000?

How do I replace the SD card reader on Nikon D5000? When putting in an SD card, it does not engage and remain in the slot but springs back out. I can see a blue piece of plastic at the bottom of the slot which i cannot remove. it is suspiciously the same colour as an SD card and I suspect a piece has come off and lodged in preventing it from locking in.

$200 for labor & part is about right to replace the assembly (the part alone is about $70) if you got it repaired here in the states.
