I don't know how to categorize this... but HELP! SD card stuck in optical drive.

Pant pant... oh crap, I totally screwed up. I was about to stick the SD card into the reader, but accidently got it stuck in the Blu-Ray Drive... help?!?!??!

EDIT: I didn't spell "Categorize" correctly.

MOD NOTE: Fixed

 

Take the battery out, open the back up, and you should see the Drive. Remove it from the system and try to shake it out. If that doesnt work you should be able to easily take apart the blu-ray drive and remove it.

 

Don't worry, you're not the first one. Have a read here and see if you can find something:

Phew... thanks guys, it's still in there, but I'll post back when I get it out. And "Anybody else as dumb as me?" ... you trying to say something there? XD

 

No, OP named his thread that way.

 

Yeah, i wasn't being serious. you know, hehe? And I probably shoulda looked it up first before freaking out. I got the SD card out, thanks a bazillion

 

hahaha, I saw this thread, and my first thought was "Somone did it again??" lol. I always look before I slide it in. Plus I keep the false card in there so I have to remove it. I also replaced my optical drive with a HDD, and the caddy won't allow anything to go into the slot

 

That's great How did you do it? Might help somebody else in the future

 

lol yeah, I have the false card in there but I was just being careless

I got a plastic toothpick, bent that sucka into an L, and presto. Thanks again guys, now I can photoshop the supermoon I took Saturday

 

Nice! Good job getting it out.

I wanted to check out the Supermoon, but it was too cloudy here You'll have to post your pics here when your done! Definately interested in seeing them.

 

Nice! post some here if you have time:

Thanks :] And sorry to hear about that :/ I live in Florida and I had no clouds in my way and don't live in the City so it was amazing from my POV. My neighbors came to me the next morning about a guy with a camera hanging out by my house being sneeky. I didn't wanna activate my porch light, stupid thing didn't wanna turn off XD

And thank you, I posted it there. I had an old tripod, so it was a little blurry. Uploaded the best one I took.
