| 821334 | 2009-10-17 02:26:00 | So.... I seem to have inserted an incorrect size SD card into the SD card slot on my HP laptop. It's a little too small and has gone right inside and during my attempts to retrieve it I have wedged it further in. It didn't look too small but clearly it is. Other than pouring water in there and try to float it out, any suggestions? |

| 821336 | 2009-10-17 02:34:00 | I did this with my desktop. so not all of this may apply to you. First... Unplug everything from the desktop. Pull out. Face so card reader is on ground. Gently shake, (more of a wiggle) Get more frustrated. Stop, have a beer. Have another go. Have another beer. While on way back from getting beer, notice card on ground. Pick up. |

| 821339 | 2009-10-17 03:22:00 | Use a paper clip, straighten it, then use a double-sided tape wrap around the tip of the paper clip, insert it into the slot and take out the card. Good luck. |
