Bent PCMCIA pins

I tried to put the Orinoco WaveLAN Silver wireless card into the PCMCIA slot in the $0 Laptop -- the Gateway Solo 1450. It didn't go it.

I looked in the slot. There was a screw wedged in there. I got it out with a plastic knife, but the damage was done. About seven pins are bent.

I hope there's a way to get access to the pins so I can straighten them out ... or that a USB wireless adapter will somehow work.
