I pulled out the sd card from my d70 camera because I wanted to print pictures. before I took the sd card out I attempted to take pictures and have had success before but now the format signal comes up. I took it to best buy and they said the pin where the sd card goes into is bent and I would have to replace it. Can you help
The D70 uses CF (compact flash) cards - I hope you are simply misnaming the CF card. But, if you did use an SD card, it would explain how you could have bent a pin.
I understand that Nikon is moving away from CF cards because of the 'bent pin issue' as well as the limited capacity of the CF card.
So, first I would try a CF card (any size) in the reader. If it still doesn't work, then I think you might check with a camera repair shop. If it is a bent pin, they can fix or replace the card reader. Note that the D70 body can be replaced with an EX rated used body for under $90 at https://www.keh.com/shop/nikon-d70-6-1-megapixel-digital-slr-camera-body-only-9782.html
Thus, I wouldn't pay $100 to have the reader fixed unless there are extenuating circumstances. Good luck.

Try to clean the contacts of the memory cards and, mostly, of the memory card bay of the camera. Use a dry anti-static fabric (e.g. what we use to clean eye-glasses). DON'T use any liquid cleaner of anything like that!

From your question it isn't clear whether or not you are formatting the card in the camera. Is this how you are formatting it? If not, you should try doing just that.
Do not use a computer to format the cards for your camera. In the future, use only the camera's own formatting and do it after every time you transfer your images to your computer. In case you don't know how to format the card with the camera, let me know and I will explain it.

If green LED is blinking constantly when camera is turned on, this is a known problem with D70. Upgrade camera firmware from nikonusa.com website.

The problem could be your SD card. Try your SD card on a friends phone. If the same problem occurs, get your SD card repaired. Most SD card companies provide you with unlimited warranty so there should not be a problem.

Try formatting your SD card by plugging in Laptop's or using a memory card reader. Don't use the cell, after formatting insert in cell and re-format. it will work.
