Thread: Can't believe I did this....Help!

I decided to post a picture on the qb...so I put my sd card from my camera in the computer slot...BUT accidentally put it in the cd slot...just went all the way in and I don't know how to get it out...any ideas?

Is your computer a laptop? Maybe you could shake it out when turning the computer with that side down.

Carefully, go fishing with tape that attached to something that will fit into that slot.

Maybe I could unplug it and give this a try...thanks.

can you reboot/restart your computer and then get it out while it's off. that worked for me. good luck.

DH said there should be a pinhole in front of drive that you can GENTLY insert opened paperclip in and it will open drive.

Did this once and used twizzers (not sure if spelled right) and lots of patients very carefully. Good luck.

Btw, I was successful but it took some time.

Is it still in the slot- or did it fall all the way into the case of the computer? if it's loose in the case it's simple to take the side cover off most of them - just unplug it and loosen a couple of thumb screws

Thanks for your ideas everyone...I turned off the computer and turned it on its side and inserted an emory board....was able to gently pull it out...yeah...now I'll post a pic.
