Hi,
I just tried to remove the SD card on my Galaxy S3 and I cannot get it out. This is the first time I've tried to remove it. I found a video here:
Samsung Galaxy S3 - Remove backside/Battery/SIM/SD-card - YouTube
but when I look at my SD card slot it appears this is no card! It doesn't stick out (black plastic) on the left like the one on the video and gently pushing on the metal "casing" for it, it doesn't seem like there is a card in it because it depresses. I've stuck my fingernail down into that recessed area on the left as far as I can to see if I can lift the entire metal casing out and I can't (which I'm guessing is GOOD thing!).
I've been able to save backups to the SD card via My BackUp Pro but I always get an error on the auto-backups that it can't save to the SD card, I just never investigated before but tonight I had some time. I'm thinking there HAS to be a card in it, but for the life of me it sure doesn't seem like it. When I open My BackUp Pro (Manage, Restore, View etc) I can see the lists of backups so again there's GOT to be a card in the darn thing wouldn't you think?
If I take it to the VZW store and they find there isn't one in there how the heck am I supposed to prove it was never there in the first place?
The tip of the SIM card is visible and pops out nicely just like in the video. But there seems to be no "tip or edge" to the SD card. If I tip the phone to look inside the slot I see silver (on the bottom of the slot) and no black plastic SD card.
Any suggestions? The VZW store is like 30mi from here so I'd prefer to not have to drive there. I really don't want to damage my phone!
Thanks,
Deb
