SD card stuck in spectre x360

[Laszlo1]

I inserted an SD memory card from my camera into the SD slot on the left hand side of my HP Spectre x360 (Model-13-4010CA). 

The card was properly inserted as it was read by the PC. 

Now  I cannot remove the card, as it appears to be stuck.   There is no handle, and no spring-action eject.

Can anyone tell me how do I get the card out?

To remove a card:

▲ Press in on the card it until it pops out.

Did the card push in all the way in now to the point you cannot grab it?

Depending on how the mechanism failed inside, you will have to get creative.

You might have to gently pry on it with a thin blade or such. Push up or down and see if it will pry out.

One user had this and used a piece of tape, stuck it to the card and pulled it out.

Thanks Cheryl, but that is how the Card got stuck in the first place.  I inserted the Card, it was read, then when I tried to get it to eject by pressing on it, it just slid all the way in and did not pop out as expected.  That is why I wrote that there was no spring-action eject!  Thanks again for the good intentions.

Thanks Photoray.  With some reluctance, I did just that, enticing the Card to come out using a couple of sharp-pointed roofing nails.  Another high-tech solution to a low tech problem - LOL.  Thanks

No problem @Laszlo1 You aren't the first post about the issue on another model but I wasn't sure if I was missing something on your model. That is why I pinged @Photoray002 -he has used that specific Spectre and I thought he might know more.

Keep those roofing nails handy.:smileyvery-happy:
