Oh dear...

Firstly, to insert an SD card - it will only go in one way, you push it, gold-contacts side into the device with the tab to the left as someone above has already suggested (hope that's correct - i don't have an IPAQ).

Push it until you hear it 'click' and lock.

To remove an SD card, you do NOT grasp it and forcefully pull it out - to do so will damage the holder. It is designed to sit flush with the device to prevent damage. I'm sure instructions on how to insert/remove the SD card would have come with either the card itself or your IPAQ's manual :roll:

I responded back and told them not just no, but heck no, this is a manufacturer issue as it is imposible to grasp the top of the SD card when it is engaged in the unit. The top of the card is flush with the top of the unit. A person would have to use a pair of plyers to get it out!!! anyway, any ideas, thoughts or,... anything?

To remove an SD card, you push it again and the spring-loaded mechanism will pop it out so that you can easily grasp/remove it.

As it stands, you may be responsible for the damage to the device. Realistically though, take your device back to the place of purchase again and tactfully ask for a new one. It would be prudent not to mention how you may (or may not) be responsible for it.

I had a similar issue when I got my first device with an SD slot. I looked at the card, it had a little ridge on it almost designed to aid in removal from the device. I looked at the device, it had an indentation either side of the slot almost designed to permit really small fingers in there to grab the ridges on the card and remove it. After a few weeks like this, the card no longer stayed in the slot. I fished around in the slot for a bit with the toothpick from a Swiss army knife, got the spring to pop back into place and the slot worked properly afterwards. (Near the left edgeof the slot there's a smallish spring that pushes on the diagonally-cut corner of the device to allow easy removal of the card.)

My gripe in this situation is that no documention came with the device instructing how to properly remove SD cards.
