I tried 3 different micro SDs, different brands and luggage, but none of them worked. Anyone got the same "error" and can help?

Hey there @martinson27665!
From what I can tell, something may be in the port and blocking the spring from engaging. Try to see if anything is stuck inside it. If there is, there's a good question similar to yours about getting something out of the port here.
If you are entirely sure that nothing else is in the port and the spring may be bad or that something else is hidden, this will be a little more difficult. Unfortunately, the SD card port is soldered onto the motherboard on the screen side. This makes it harder to reach. Thankfully, though, there's a good guide on how to get to the motherboard here. I will warn you, though, it would take some time, effort, and will also void your warranty. Please, take out your SD card if it is in the port before you open your Steam Deck.
As for what you would do once you get to the port, try looking for anything that could be blocking the way. If you can find it, remove it carefully. If you can't find anything, try checking to see if the spring is in the correct place.
Best of luck!

Is the Steam Deck not reading the SD cards? Or are they just not locking into place?
If they aren't locking into place, either the little spring mechanism that locks them is broken, or something inside the port is blocking it.

Yes, thanks for the speed to answer.
I meant that when i insert the micro SD, it enters but the spring ejects it. It works and shows the name of it if i press it strong, but when i let go it ejects. Any idea?
