Hello!
SO, I was stupid and got myself in quite a little jam.
Stuck my new phone's memory card into the M11x's slot, it was much to small and got stuck. I tried getting it out of there but made it far worse. I can't even see it in there anymore.......

I really need the pics that are on there for a project so is there any way I could try to get this thing outta there? What would you guys try?
Tweezers and some gum didn't work. Any way to take the system apart and get it, or is there a much easier way?

Man did I learn my lesson on this one.....

Thanks!

Try affixing some scotch tape to something small enough to fit in there and see if that will pull it out. Just be careful not the have the tape get stuck in there too.
