Well I am sure glad I found this forum... Unfortunatly for me it was a bit to late. I like many made a poor judgement of error and thought that perhaps my memory stick from my cell phone would work flawlessly in my laptop. Needless to say, i was very very wrong.
I have the sony ericsson w810i which has the memory stick PRO duo and an hp pavilion. Im sure you all know where the story is going, but if not ill give you the short version. The card in my phone was holding at least 100 pictures and i thought it was about time to take them off the phone. So i pulled the card out of the slot in the phone and pushed it into the card reader in my hp.
I had no problems transfering the photos. The problem was when i tried to remove the card. Obviously it wouldnt budge. My dad always says that the internet holds the key to everything so i got online, and as this forum has been discusing, i found out that it doesnt really fit in the slot.
Eventually i did get the card out... using a bobby pin (take the plasic ends off so the pin fits nicely on either side of the card, and twist it a bit to tighten the grip and pull the card out slowly. It doesnt do any damage but might take a few tries)
Good thing i found you guys though because im pretty sure i would pull that stunt again thinking that my card readers just isnt equip with the spring mechanism that is designed to eject the cards.
Thanks a million
