    Please can someone help me!!!! My friend just pushed her memory card (which is too small to fit in the reader) in my memory card reader in my laptop and now it is stuck! I have tried easing it out without any success, it just pushed it further into the laptop. i have tried shaking it out and banging the laptop to see if it falls out... nothing is working!?!?! please can someone give me any ideas!!!! thanks!! ​

    try some tweezers , but make sure the power is off and the battery is removed first.

    i wouldn't bang on it unless you want to buy a new HDD. Tweezers are your best shot. if that doesn't work get screw driver and take it apart if your comfortable.

    doubt the screwdriver issue would help. the card is internal of the reader.
    is there a way you can attach a pic so we can see the slot and sizes we are dealing with?
