Olympus E-300 melted CF power pin

Just bought a E-300, but unfortunately it’s broken. The camera works completely fine without a Cf card, but when added, the camera will forever boot loop, with only the blue SSWF and red media access light blinking once every 2 seconds or so.

Inside the CF compartment, it looks like one of the power delivery pins is burnt.
Any tips? Or am I tearing this thing apart.
