thomaschung Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 My SD card is stuck. anyone else had this problem? how the hell am i supposed to get it back out. i'm suprised it doesn't ping back out when you push in on it. and for some reason the sd card goes all the way in leaving nothing to pull it back out again. any ideas?
gaggle64 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 You should be able to just push and it should spring out like a DS cart.
thomaschung Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 i am trying tweesers but it is stuck it only comes out 3 or 4 mm and i can't get it out. how far out should it sring back? it doesn't seem to on mine. nightmare
Emasher Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 i'm guessing its a san disk brand (they get stuck in the wii) you just have to keep trying to pull it out (your wii isn't broken)
thomaschung Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 it is a sandisk brand. this is an adapter for my micro sd which i just got today. and it's bloody stuck. i noticed a switch on one side (write protection probably). Does all SD cards have this as I'm thinking that might be what's getting it stuck. might need to break it. finally, i managed to get it out. ot rather my brother's girlfriend with her long nails and smaller fingers did the trick. i doubt i'll be putting it back in there again though. thanks for everyone's help. if you don't have a girl close by with long finger nails, try using a large nail clipper. does the trick oh and my sd card does not spring back out. not sure if that is the sd card or the Wii.
gaggle64 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Might want to try a different brand. I use Kingston, good, cheap and reliable.
Excelle Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 it is a sandisk brand. this is an adapter for my micro sd which i just got today. and it's bloody stuck. i noticed a switch on one side (write protection probably). Maybe it's because it's an adapter rather than a straight SD card?
thomaschung Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 yeah i know i was being a cheapscape. i got the 1gb micro sd so it works on my phone. it came with SD adaptor and usb adaptor so i can easily transfer files between my phone, laptop and use it on my Wii too. it was only a tenner including postage from ebay.
dab Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I've got the same problem. Both of my SD cards get stuck and I have to use tweezers to get them out. I called Nintendo about it and they said the card slot should work just like with the DS, but mine just doesn't. The cards I've tried: Wii branded 1GB SanDisk SanDisk 2GB Ultra II I find what emasher has said about SanDisk cards getting stuck very interesting. Does that mean that it's likely that the card slot of my console isn't broken? It's just that I find it very surprising that the Wii branded card would get an 'Official Nintendo Seal' from Nintendo if it was too big to work properly in the Wii's SD card slot.
Mike Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I didn't realise that SanDisk cards were a no-no for the Wii. Mine has been fine since I got it a month ago, though, touch wood.
flameboy Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I've got a sandisk one and it is just a little bit too big, if ever it gets stuck use the old tweezers...
Isindil Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 I have a regular San Disk 1GB and 2GB, both works perfectly. (My Microdia card does as well, but that's probably not very intreresting).
Emasher Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 san disk cards work fine its just they're a little thicker than other brands so there hard to get out. though i found the trick to getting them out long ago so i don't have a problem with them anymore
