Memory Card Stuck!

dasilva33 · 07-24-2008, 01:26 PM

Hello my name is Robyn Da Silva, I was just wondering if anyone could help me figure out how to take my memory chip out of the "pocket".
i have a psp, and i thought the memory chip would fit, but all it did was go into the hole even further. I am now in a rut, and can't get it out. I am curious too know if there is a solution for such a problem..

P.S. its not my computer its my moms.. so SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

It is in Acer Laptop, and Windows Vista

Try a pair of tweezers, but be careful.

What about a bobby pin? Use the open end.

dasilva33 · 07-24-2008, 02:21 PM

tried that too !
EEEEH
any other ideas ?

How small is this thing?

Try 'pricking' it out with a needle. The needle might just get some 'grip'.

I thought about that, but was afraid it would scratch it. There might not be any other way.

Better scratched chip than a jammed machine?

**kinbard** · 07-24-2008, 03:21 PM

Yup. Maybe pick it up and shake it

(don't really do that!)

my laptop wont turn on now, it is saying something about an error with a removable drive or something...
i flipped my laptop (my moms) upside down and i noticed that there is a plate with one screw in it that i can take off right where the memory chip goes into the side of the laptop...
is it safe just to take this off, and take a peek too see if i can get it out?
