In all Pocket PC and Palm handhelds the SD card must be removed by pushing on it. I remember a thread a while back about this... can anyone find it? It was about HP publishing something online about the proper removal of an SD card. I tried searching for it but was unsuccessful. :?

Well, my Palm m505 ukeface2:, four Casio E-200s, two e740s, and two h5455s have all had the spring-loaded card ejection mechanism. It should have worked like that from day one.

This may be the article you are thinking of... Note that they say a broken SD slot is not a warranty repair!

Fortunately mine works now. It's just that it goes most of the way in with no resistance now and then gets springy. Then when I pop it out, it pops out the same distance it stopped at going in so I don't know if it's designed that way.

Hopefully it'll be covered by a Care Pack tho, as I tend to rely on them. My previous unit was swapped five times and it may be going in for a sixth If I can't restore the Windows CE bootloader to it.

That's correct and normal behavior, and is how it should have worked all along.

I really dislike it when machines start wanting and needing things. They're not human, fer cryin' out loud!

It didn't need one - you did! :lol: What you describe it doing is perfectly normal and what it probably would have done had you used it correctly. :wink:
