Camera help!
6/9/2015 at 2:19 PM

My camera has a too small of memory card stuck in it! I've tried everything to get it out, but I just can't do it. Wondering where in town they can help, I'd rather not drive all over the place trying to see who can do it so hoping someone knows where they can help me for sure! Thanks! (:

It happened to my dad too. He didn't realize you had to push it back in to eject it. Have you tried that?

One of mine you have to push on it to release it.

Yes! I've tried that. It's jammed in there good. Even tried tweezers. It is an expensive camera so don't want to play around too much with it and possible wreck it so it can't read another memory card!

Don't know if I would have Black's mess with it either. They are not a service facility. If it is a camera still under warranty I would send it to the manufacturer because the spring inside or the pins inside are probably broken/bent. Possibly your SD card is cracked and jamming it. Otherwise Computech in Winnipeg is the closest place to service a camera.

Idea from YouTube
6/9/2015 at 5:19 PM

Here is an idea from YouTube. The fellow on the video is demonstrating on a laptop, but I believe the same/similar principles would apply. The comments section under the video might give you a few ideas.

Not suggesting you monkey around too much with it, but you might want to this.

Good Luck
