SD Card slot is broken

I put an SD card into my SD card slot earlier on to take something off it. When I took it out I heard a snapping sound and after taking the card out, the top plastic bit which keeps the metal plates in place was gone. Now, no SD cards work in there because there is a bit of black plastic stopping them from going all the way. What the ****? Why is the slot eating my cards? Has anyone else had this problem and if you have, how did you fix it. I'm not shoving anything in there in case I break it forever. I'm going to take it to my local Apple Store next weekend if nobody can figure out how to get it out again.
Thanks

The top plastic bits of what? the card or the computer? As far as I am concerned they would be called bottom plastic bits on either the card or computer on my 15" MBP

Xperia Z2 SD Card Slot is Broken, help please

Dear support teams.
My Xperia Z2's sd card slot is broken. All of a sudden, the microsd flap was opened by itself, and the sd card popped out. Then everytime I try to insert the sd card, the slot ejects the sd card by itself.
What should I do? I don't want to bring my phone to the service center because it is notoriously bad in my country
Reply as fast as you can

Sorry to hear this but all you can do is either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

Broken SIM card slot tray holder - N97 mini

I've got my N97 mini since several years ago, and now I meet a problem. I was trying to put my micro-sim with a adapter in it to check if it works, but unfortunately, when I was pulling it out, it got stuck. Then I used a little bit force. However, after it successfully came out, I suddenly found that the SIM card slot tray holder bended and was a total mess.
Have anyone else experienced like this? How and where to repair it in VIC? And how much does it cost?
Thanks for all the guys who answer me! ^ ^

hi mate,
Oh no. Did the same thing with my N8 a few years back and had to have it replaced at a Nokia Care point. I really feel for you buddy as it is quite catastrophic and can damage the phone. Your best bet is to actually follow the Nokia Care procedures on the Nokia Australia website. All the Nokia Care points across Australia have closed down (here in Perth, and one I saw in Melbourne on that main street near the main railway station, Flinders is it called, that one is closed down too). Therefore the procedure is that you have to send it off to Rydlemere in NSW where they will assess whether they can repair then mail it back to you.

Lumia 800 Sim card slot broken - Any suggestions?

Hi all,
I've had my lumia 800 for a year now and loved it, but unfortunately I dropped it on the corner closest to the sim card slot, and it appears that the clip which stops the sim card holder from springing up has been damaged so it won't stay in place anymore and pops up. This obviously means that the phone doesnt detect the sim and turns off.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do? I'm considering whether or not I could remove the spring that keeps forcing it to pop up, otherwise it might have to be a tape-down job on my beautiful phone
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately we aren't allowed to discuss any internal self repairs due to this forums rules so you are on your own with the spring question.
What you could do is contact a Nokia care point and ask for a repair quote. It's likely to be expensive as the whole body would need to be changed. The best option is probably to claim on your insurance, if you have a policy that covers you for accidental damage.

High Capacity storage using Express Card slot

Hi guys,
I know this probably isn't the right forum but I couldn't find a more appropriate one.
I've got a MacBook Pro 2.16ghz Intel Core Duo and I need serious storage options!
I'm basically looking for high capacity RAID 5 storage to store/edit/capture onto. I edit mostly on SD but sometimes HDV (I own an HVR-Z1E). I've got a first edition MacBook Pro and so only have one firewire port which will be taken up when capturing by the camera.
I'm probably going to have to use the express card slot but haven't really thought about what card/wires yet. I'm wanting to spend under £1000 in total and would ideally like Raid 5 configuration to build some safety into my system (lost a project through a broken drive the other day). I'm hoping for a 2tb system or there abouts but am happy to go for less and keep plugging in more HDD later.
I was considering this la cie: http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=10850 but I'm very open to suggestion and at the moment am most concerned about data rate especially on capture. On RAID 5 is that a problem with this drive if I connected with USB2.0?
Sorry for the odd placement (I'd be happy to re-post in a more appropriate forum if that's useful).
All the best,
Dan

Card slot does not work after update (14/10/2011)

Card slot does not work after yesterday update (14/10/2011)! It works with my SD card month ago, but now it dosn't!!!
MacBook Pro 13 OS ver. 10.6.8

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

Hi, I have a Lenovo 3000 n100 that does not recognize the dvd player or SD memory card slot

Hi, this is my first time on here so forgive me if I don't give all of the right information, I will try. Until about a month ago my dvd player and SD memory card slot worked fine. I was attempting to download pictures from the SD memory card to my laptop when for some reason it not only stopped reading the memory card but it erased it also. I tried to watch a movie on it to see if it was working and it is not. I checked the computer to see if I could manually turn it on and neither the memory card slot or the dvd player show up at all. Is this a driver problem and if so how do I fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Linda

I have struggled with the same thing, until about 1/2 hour ago....And its real simple. I'm not a techy but here's what worked for me.
Since Lenovo doesn't send boot discs you are going to have to create one. I went to http://www.ntfs.com/boot-disk.htm and downloaded the trial version - good for 10 days. If this works for you then you should buy the software (that goes w/o saying).
Once loaded to your machine you will need to create a DVD (CD may work as well, all I had was DVD's handy). Just lauch the application and it will do this for you.
Then you need to insert the DVD/CD into your player and restart the machine.
Once lauched the Software will lauch the Active@ Boot Disk menu. One of the options (going from memory here) was to give you a windows prompt. I simply typed c: and took me to the C drive. Then I typed chkdsk /f c:
I was then told my c drive was locked (sounds familiar I bet) but this time I was given the option to dismount the volume which I did. And it finally ran chkdsk, found and corrected all errors.
I rebooted my machine, launched diskeeper, and guess what - I can finally defrag my harddrive now which is sorely overdue!
Good luck. I hope this works for you!

Memory speed and graphic card slot

Hi,
I have just built a system with a P67A-GD65 B3 board, everything works fine, but while double-checking on the system's specs and performances I came across two weird issues:
- I have 2 x G-Skill F3-17000CL7-2GBXHD RAM sticks at 2133MHz, I have enabled XMP in the BIOS (with leaving all other settings in automatic mode) and the BIOS indicates the RAM is running at 2133MHz, 7-10-7-27, however, when I run the MSI Control Center (latest version of the app) it says on the home screen of this app that my RAM is detected as "DDR3-1600 (800MHz)" in the speed field. I also ran CPU-Z and it says there that my DRAM frequency is 1064.4 MHz (the FSB:DRAM value is "1:8"), with the 7-10-7-27 timings values. Which one should I believe? The WEI gives a score of 7.9 for my memory which is ok, and I am not running in any performance issue nor I am looking to do any overclocking, but I just want to make sure that I am making the best out of my money and that I am using the RAM as it is supposed to be used... Can someone shed some light here?
- I have installed my graphic car on the slot that is the furthest possible from the CPU as I believe they both generate quite some heat and so they should be as far away as possible from eachother. In CPU-Z I have a link width for the graphic interface of "x8" with max supported of "x16". Is this something that is related to the slot and should I move the card to the slot closer to the CPU? Or is this something else? Is there a setting in the BIOS maybe that can address this?
Thanks!

Both are correct information. The detected '1600MHz' is actually the factory stock speed from the IC chip of the RAMs. The readings of "1064.4MHz" is the running speed that the RAM is currently on so for DDR calculation, you have to multiple 1064.4MHz by 2 to get 2133MHz.
The reasons for 2 readings to be detected is due to your RAM being factory overclocked by manufacturer before it went on the retail shelves, which is very common. Most or any RAMs that you see with speed above 1600MHz are generally overclocked by manufacturer using 1600MHz RAMs for speed boost.
The graphics card slot will still runs at x16 with your card.

Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

Sir,
I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
Working very well.
Recently, my memory card stopped working.
I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5.
Then also i am getting the same error message........
Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
Thanks in ADVANCE.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked.
You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
Hope this helps.

I have a iPhone 4 which was on Verizon. I now want to start using it on Walmart Family Mobile. I know I have to get it jail broke but people are telling me that I can't use it as it has no sim card slot. Is there a way of getting around this problem?

How can I use a iPhone 4 without the sim card slot on Walmart family mobile?

The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA only phone. It is not physically possible to use it on a GSM network. It doesn't have the right parts. Also, we can't discuss jailbreaking here.
Best of luck.

What is use of sim card slot in hp pavilion dv4

i want to know how to use sim card slot in my HP Pavilion dv4 laptop

Hi,
It's a SIM card slot and it's for a SIM card. But to be able to fully utilize/utilise it you also need a WWAN card. What is the model of your machine ? dv4 is a series of many model, most of them do not have WWAN cards built-in.
Regards.

@Sarahmarie
You can try out this process and see if it helps:
Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices
I assume that you probably already have seen this, but for your convenience, here is the support page for your notebook: HP 15-r029wm Notebook PC Drivers
The newest audio driver I could find there for your notebook has these parameters:
Released: 2014-02-21
Version 6.0.1.7156
Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
The version number matches the one you gave but the date is different.
You can always try the Realtek site, for their drivers, however, they are not going to be customized to match the components in your notebook, but you could try and then go back if it does not help.

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

I bought an iphone sprint carrier on ebay but i want to know if the phone is going to work for an international carrier movistar which is gsm due to the phone does have a sim card slot , what do i need to do ?

help me how can i get my phone to work in movistar which is my carrier in ecuador gsm . sprint iphones does have sim card slot but i'm not sure if it will work for gsm what do i need to do , how do i unlock it

IF the phone was unlocked by Sprint for international use, it will work on any compatible (non U.S.) GSM carrier.
If it was NOT unlocked before you acquired it, you will need to move to the US and establish service with Sprint, then wait the minimum amount of time specified by their policy before they will agree to unlock it for you.
If you are not a Sprint customer, you bought the wrong phone.
