    I guess the card was not compatible with G73's card slot, its been pushed far inside. There's no way to get it out without getting that drive out of this thing I think. Anybody got any tutorials I could follow to open the G73 up and try to rescue that card?

    The card reader is not removable, you will need to get at that with small tweezers or some other tool.

    I made this mistake once and now my SD card slot doesn't work :(

    Take a tooth pick and put some tape on it so the sticky side faces outwards and try to pull it out with that.
