Default Help! PC Card Reader problem!

I really screwed up, ya'll! I put my CF card directly into the slot...I didn't know you had to put the adapter in there. The salesman I talked to said I could put the card directly in there...(I bought this car from the Nissan place, not the Honda dealership)

Does anybody have any suggestions? I really need to get my card out of there! It's a 4 gb SanDisk CF card. When I push the eject button, it does nothing. Somebody please help me!

Heather

Try grabbing it with a pair of tweezers and slowly pull it out.....

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm gonna try it and see...

I can't really see the card, because it kinda fell way back in there...but I'm definitely gonna try to get it with the tweezers!

Thanks guys!

Well, I tried the tweezer thing...and it didn't work. The tweezers aren't long enough to reach it! (it's WAY back in there...) I'm probably gonna take it to Nissan and tell them to fix it since their salesman told me to stick the card in there. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated in the meantime, though!

When I bought my car, I was surprised that no one at the dealership knew anything about the PC card slot.

They told me that the card would fit right into the slot, too. When I started pushing the card in, luckily I realized the card was way too small for the opening, so I didn't push it in too far and I was able to grab it using two tooth picks... kinda like chop sticks.... lol....

If you can find two small items, like wood skewers or something like that to pull it forward a little, maybe then you can grab it with the tweezers.

If that doesn't work, take it to the dealer...

good luck!

I'm just brainstorming at work, but if you got a plastic utensil and put a small dab of an epoxy glue at the end of the handle, then held the end with the glue on to the exposed side of the card and waited for it to cure, I bet you could pull it out.

Hope that makes sense.
