SD card stuck in laptop...how the hell do I get it out?

[Amby 490]

I googled and all the idiots that asked the same question on there got their mini sd card stuck in the slot for the regular sized ones. #######? Who does that? This is a regular sized one that won't pop out...what should I do? I considered using pliers but I wasn't sure if I should go yanking the thing out or not?

How does it normally eject? Do you push it in a bit further and it normally pushes out a bit, or do you normally just pull it out?

push it in and then it clicks and pops out

I had the same issue with my laptop... ended up using tweezers to yank it out when it wouldn't "spring" out, but that was my own hare-brained idea and probably wasn't the smartest

And I take it that now it's somehow stuck. Does the computer actually recognize that it is plugged in? I would use tweezers rather than pliers to push it in a bit and then pull it out.

the computer says it's in there. it happened last night and I thought I would sleep on it before I went yanking it out. I will try the tweezers when I get home. thanks

We've gotten ours stuck as well and used tweezers - no problems. There's an adapter that sometimes is needed for it to fit in there properly, but I've seen people use tape.

two choices, a big hammer or ten feet of det cord

That could be the solution to a lot of things.

you want premature ejection?

Can you put the blame on the card or the socket?

Or the user (not inserted correctly)?

I think it was the card because I put it in again to see ####### was up and it got stuck again. I tried another one and it didn't get stuck. I transferred all the stuff on that card and threw it away.
