Hello everyone! I stuck a MemoryStick Pro card in the SD card slot on my new laptop, and now I can't get it out! :-( Any suggestions? Thanks!

What about using a Vise-Grip and try to delicately pull it out?

Nope... It's sunk inside the slot... I tried a nail cutter and a pencil but that just got it deeper in... Then some duct tape to see if it stuck to it and it got out, but it wasn't very strong... I was thinking about putting glue on a needle's tip but... you know, the thing's acting up and I need to return it, so I don't want to risk my warranty being voided... Any other ideas? Thanks! ;-)

Acccord to the specs on both types the MSpro is 2.5MM narrower. You should be able to insert something like a straightened paperclip on one side or the other. Bend a VERY small hook on the end. The problem is that the MSpro is .7MM thicker.
