    I have just tried to put an MS Pro Stick into my Acer notebook's 5in1 reader, however, it just went all the way in with no apparent way of coming out.

    Now that it has been pushed totally into the front of the machine, I can't get it out, does anyone have any ideas on how to eject it? Is it like with the Mobile it came with that has an eject if you push it?

    At the moment, I can just about get it out with tweezers, and I am too worried that if I push it further I will lose this ability!

    Can someone help!

    is it just a MS pro, or a MS pro duo?

    ( a duo is the one about the size of a postage stamp)

    Its a Pro Duo! That's probably why it doesn't work!!!

    I got it out with some toothpicks, won't be trying that again!

    Thanks!

    I used tweezers to manage to pull it out, just need to find that adapter that converts a pro-duo into a regular pro!

    Damn, yeah if u want to use the small duo ones, you need a duo to full size converter,.........I got one of these with my g/f's sony ericson cell phone :)

    Although, the full size one was still a lil hard to get out as pulling it only removed the duo part, and left little to grab for the adaptor lol
