As the title says I can't pull out my M2 from Z550i, I don't know if another Z550's users have this same problem but mines get stucked at half I don't change memory cards very often and I'll dismantle the phone only as a final option. Can anyone give some advice about this??

Thanks in advanced

PS: I don't have a digital camera at the moment, but I'll try to post a pic as soon as possible.

A pair of tweezers will work.

Make sure you do the push-push action to remove.

If the M2 does not pull out with the tweezers, PUSH then PULL. it will come out.

SEMC is trying to save some money by using SHIT connectors with plastic semi-lock.

Most likely the M2 card installed is a FAKE. Happened before. Good luck!

@juniji: Thanks mate, i'll give it a try ASAP

@suland: I seriously doubt it's fake, I bought it directly form a Sony Style shop in USA, and besides the stuck problem it works perfectly.

Well, it's good if it's not a fake. Strange then...

@alexIt: you did push it in first to release it, and then try to pull it out? or did you just start yanking it out

@bondizi:

I didn't know you have to push the M2 for pull it out, I just take the bigger pliers I could find and started yanking it out

Of course I pusht it but it gets "trapped" in the half, I think there must be something hooked into the memory card. It gets trapped like this:

what happens if you pull slowly while jiggling it side to side?

this thread is beginning to sound naughty

I've already tried doing that with no luck It seems the left side (from the picture) is trapped with something, the right side seems normal (loose). I remember removed it once whith no problems at all, I can't understand what happened

Well, I don't want to try that, I fear that it will affect electronic parts of the memory card and the handset, I'll try juniji method first

I doubt it's a normal issue, so maybe goto a service centre and ask for assistance.

I wouldn't do anything drastic unless you want to either break your phone or memory card, or void your warranty.

my k810i does just that as well .... push in to release, comes part way
out, then I have to "jiggle" it around whilst pulling on it. It requires a little
force (but not too much) and with a small click comes out. I suspect the
catch that holds the card in place is a little out of position. As I only remove the
card for upgrades this isn't really an issue for me.
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
