Good morning maybe somebody can help me please. I have a brand new HP 360 Spectra two in one laptop i received as a present a few months ago and i never used the SD slot for an SD card yet. I put my SD card in from my tablet popped it in real easy and when I went to the computer area it didn't read the Sd card. So what I did is you push your finger lighty to pop the SD card out, And when i did it went right in the computer! I can't even see it! It's in the slot somewhere in the computer now! So please can anybody tell me how to remove this or get it out? I called HP and started a case yesterday and the lady said she would call back within an hour and she never called me back.This is definitely a defect in the SD slot or something cuz I know about computers and stuff and I have many HP laptops!! And I've never had this problem like this before. Please can somebody advise me in what to do? thank you Rocky

Hello @Rockster317
It is microSD™ memory card reader
Page 3 Getting to know your computer
What type of card did you used in your accidental case ?
If you used a MicroSD card (green mark in the picture), it could have happened that you did not use the slot, but above or below the slot you inserted the card, and as a result it fell inside the notebook.
Please report your results

Hello @Rockster317
Recommendation and solution
Disassemble notebook to gain access to the "lost microSD card".

Hello @Rockster317
I have written very detailed solutions. If you don't want to disassemble the notebook yourself, please take it to a notebook repair store. You should be able to open it on your own, it's easy. You have the service manual, 2 hands and a functional brain ... and with little luck you will find the lost miroSD card ...
For me the case is closed.
Good luck
