    hi guys, this is my first post but i have been reading the forum for awhile now. :)
    the problem i have today is that i accidently inserted the MS pro (i thought i was holding normal memory stick) into the memory card reader without the MS adapter and now i cant get it out T_T
    does anyone know how to get this thing out of my lappy?

    thanks in advance

    by the way, i just got the A6Ja today =.= almost 3 weeks after i ordered it. it's really sexy :)

    try using the MS adapter put it the other way around in the slot and squeeze, you should be able to grab it.

    i think if you use a pair of tweezers that should do the trick
    if you dont have a pair lying around, you can buy them for 99c at the dollar store

    Isn't the memory card reader compatible with both MS and MS Pro?
    I could have sworn that it was...

    Yes it does as a guess in this case, I think he meant he put a MS Pro Duo card into the slot, and being less then half the size of a standard MS, it is now stuck in there???

    Just about any pharmacy should carry a fair amount of different size tweezers. You can also check an automotive parts store for one of those retractable grabbers (which might work) or for a small set of jewelers pliers like these. Also check for watch repair kit with small thin pliers like this.
