How do I remove a memory card that has been wedged into my laptop memory card slot?
I have a Toshiba satellite computer, and about an hour ago, the memory card from my digicam got stuck inside the memory card slot of the computer. Obviously, I have realized that the memory card is too small. Tweezers are too big to get in, and I have tried using a hairpin. The card is at the super back, like half an inch in. Btw, the slot is more like a slit.
I’m desperate, what do I do????
If you can’t find smaller tweezers then you could try shaking it out or even if your comfortable with computer hardware opening up your laptop and seeing if you can push it out from the inside. If you’re not comfortable with that somewhere like Best Buy or any local computer store would be able to get it out.
Turn off remove the battery and then take a paper clip and shape into a hook shape then try to ease out the card from the slot.
Be aware that you may even damage the slot for further use so I suggest being as careful as you possibly can.
If you have no luck in doing it this way then a dismantle is about the only way it can be done, as said if you are happy to do this then carry on but warranty will be void or take it to a repair shop, again warranty may get void
