    Use a tweezer (something similar to a pair of chopsticks you can use to grab). If it's too deep, you may need to open up your notebook.
    I used a long tweezer to pull my sony card out when it got stuck in my card reader slot (the adapter was not compatible) :D

    Thank you very much for the advices. Very useful. With two thin knives (butter knives) and care, it is easy to pull it out.

    Many Thanks
