    Does anyone know how to take out cards from the 4 in 1cardreader ?
    In fact, I put a Memory Stick Duo - Pro of my Sony DSC-T3 in the cardreader but after that, I've no ideas how to take it out...

    Well, I just grab it by the end that's sticking out, then just...pull. Be sure to pull straight out so you don't damage the card. :cool: Simple!

    Well, it's not that simple, cause I've tried this way many times but it doesn't work. Please notice that is the small card Memory Stick Duo - Pro of Sony and it crept deeply into the reader slot so I can't pull it even by my finger tip. I had to try to pull it by a small plastic stick but it didn't work either. Another idea ?

    Yes, try tweezers...

    I have had a tough time with my card reader (a 6-in-1) as well. I put a Memory Stick Pro Duo in mine - it only sticks out about half a centimeter - I have a tough time getting it out as well. Another funny thing is that my reader does not like the Sony card at all - my computer freezes up every time. Haven't been able to fix it, even after the last time I reloaded the operating system. Well, maybe it's just Sony and their weird media :confused:

    Yeah, I've done it, a tweezers did well. It wasn't really funny but a good experience as well. Thank you all for your help.
