HI mspv12,
the problem with the slot it maybe the guide.
I chipped an Audi slot it a few years ago and had the same
problem it came with a white guide and ssd needs a black
one to register laps. As a quick fix i got a black permanant
marker and coloured it in and that work ok untill it wore off.
Also the guide and the car sat very low on the track and the
led was not seen by the lane changer so in the end I put the
older style scalextric guide with a long stem on which made
the car work with ssd but it was not very good at going round
corners.
I would think you could buy a slot it guide for scalextric digita,l
have not look for ages, maybe Mr flippant knows or bigbird know,
they are very up to date with things.

Sounds like you are getting well into the chipping thing.

I would try the polite way 1st and contact scalextric direct,
they are usually very helpful. They replaced several blown /
defect chips for me without hesitation. There number is
01843 233525 or +44 1843 233525 from outside the UK

You can always go down the letter route later.
just one thought I would imagine they are quite busy so
patience is a virtue.
