How can I get my sd card out of my computer?

Same Problem

Nov 24, 2009

-   I have the same issue.
There's no way a flat head screw driver fits in there, definitely not 2 of em (I tried, and I have really little flat head screw drivers meant for eyewear repairs). Also I tried toothpicks, but they aren't strong enough. The SD card is really stuck in there, ductape doesn't work either, I just keep pulling the duct tape out without the SD card. The damn thing is really lodged in there, and it won't even move.-   aerh

-   Hey,

My friend insert a PSP memory card inside my laptop's memory card space. The space where u can insert handphone memory card and stuff. The thing is, she did not use the adapter and it's now stuck inside. I tried taking it out but its too deep.

I tried to switch on the laptop. It says " Pls remove ... "
that sort of stuff. Do u think it is possible to remove the memory card stucked inside if i send the laptop for repair?
Will any files be deleted? Pls help.. -   rasyidah21

I used two toothpicks and moved the card slowly from side to side until it was far enough out to grasp it with tweezers

I had the same problem, read some of the proposed solutions and came up with one that worked for me! Here it is: (1) cut a piece of duct tape that is about half the width of the slot and a couple of inches long (2) use a small flat head screwdriver and depress the card down, so that a small gap is created above the card (3) take a second small flat head screwdriver and force the tape into the gap above the card - adhesive side towards card (4) continue to work the tape into the gap so that it covers as much of the card as possible (5) remove the screwdrivers and gently pull on the tape until the card is removed!

[Use] a piece of thick paper cut into a long rectangle finger. I slide this underneath the card with the other end sticking out. You can then angle your laptop until it just slides out. If that doesn't work you can use a bit of sticky tape. Hold one end and try to stick the top of the MS then gently pull out (the other piece of paper is still underneath).

Toshiba having the same problem... I alrad have unscrewd the back, it doesnt come completely apart.. I can not get to the screws on the driver.

Comment by gleasonjim, posted on Jul 02, 2008

SD card is stuck deeply in the card reader bay of my Compaq Presario 3000 laptop. I can't pull it out with tweezers as it is too deep in a very narrow slot. Pushing on it with a long narrow screwdriver doesn't cause it to pop out as is normal with my other devices. Laptop reads the SD card fine, but obviously can't reuse that in the camera it came from and it prevent use with other SD cards while still stuck there. Next attempt will be to take out tiny screws int he base and see if I can access the reader internally.

Any helpful suggestions appreciated.
