SD card is stuck in the slot with no way to remove it

[almosthere]

On top of this, neither slot could read the SD prior to it being stuck. But any other computer could read it perfectly *sigh*

There's always an issue that makes it unusable after a couple of months and I don't even use it that much.

Care to send a picture ? I think that's the first time I hear of such an issue.

As for the reading itself, do you know in what filetype is the card formatted in ? If it's ExFAT, you can't read it on Pandora (without installing proper drivers).

It seems my reply didn't go through before. To summarise: some SD card stickers are too thick to fit into the Pandoras socket and can cause it to jam. I believe I used a pair of tweezers and a little bit of force to remove the card, ad then peeled off the sticker and it worked good as new.

My right slot eats SD cards too. I don't use it at all now.

haven't heard much of this also if you do try and pull back out make sure it has been pushed in and wanting to release

I never had this problem.

Maybe too many stickers on the cards?

My card had no sticker - it was an official Samsung (IIRC) with the details printed onto the card. The problem was not caused by stickers.

In testing mine, the sd card can flex down a little (more than it can bend up), so perhaps click it to unhook it then try bending it down in its slot a little with your fingernail to allow the stickers to stop rubbing against the slot.

I managed to remove it with a pair of tweezers, unfortunately I damaged the SD card, which had no stickers on it by the way. I've used the same card for 2 years. This sucks

^ I think it's fixable as the soldering points are quite large.

I think he damaged the card not the slot!

Oh!  Read too fast!  Then it's easier to fix
