Broke my micro SD card, now it's stuck

[HMCS JK]

I was attempting to pull my battery but I accidentally grabbed the tab to the micro SD card instead, so when I yanked what I thought was the battery, I ended up breaking the card right where it goes into the phone, making it impossible to pull out. Of course, the slot isn't spring loaded and nobody at the VZW store had any ideas for me (great cust svc). I think my only option is to get a hex screwdriver and tear it apart, but I'll try any suggestions you may have!

phone insurance might be the only option

Can you take a picture to show how much is broken off?

In for pics. The story doesn't really add up in my head.

What exactly were you trying to grab the battery with that could get a hold of the SD card and snap it?

Glad I'm not the only one who can't get a mental picture for what transpired? You almost have to see a pic, for this one. Either way, I hope he's familiar w/ this....

I'm assuming OP is gonna be a one-post wonder, never to be heard from again.
Solution: Grab micro-tweezers that your girlfriend or mom might have and grab on to a broken piece. Pull gently as to not snap off anymore of it, though.

Side-note: What's up with all of the weird user errors lately?

 

[xxfallacyxx]

User errors?

User errors?

I couldn't think of a broad term for it. Mistakes, I guess.
Like this guy breaking his SD card, or the other guy deleting Sense and Messages, etc etc. The sudden sale of a high-end 4G phone kinda brought out the newbs.

Is literally no piece showing that you can't use the sharp end of a pin to slide it out.
