Sony memory card stuck in Acer Aspire 5100 multimedia card slot!

Yes I know - daft thing to do. As I was putting the memory card into the multimedia card slot to transfer photos I even thought it didn't seem right but my greater sense didn't kick in and take over! Now it's stuck in there and I'm distraught.

Anyone got any advice on how to get it out as there seems to be no obvious solution... aaargh!!

Thanks in advance for any tips

I dunno what the configuration of the card reader is like, but if the edge of the card is visible, then you should be able to grip the end with some long nosed pliers or something similar and maybe gently tease it out

Firstly, while it's still working, transfer all the data off the memory card... just in case subsequent attempts to remove it damage it in some way.

Good advice, but I would sense from the OPs post it ain't in correctly hence the reason it's stuck

Hi All

Thanks for your responses so far. Unfortunately the card seems un-grippable with needles/tweezers etc but I'll give it another go tomorrow. I've taken the back off to see if I can get to slot from the inside but don't know enough to go bumbling around inside without clear instructions as am scared of causing any damage... aaaargh so frustrating!

The card is stuck inside and not even in the right slot so unfortunately I'm unable to transfer any photos across. All my holiday shots plus loads more are on the memory card though so I really want to retrieve it in one piece if possible!

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance
