Opening SD Card Tray

[hankbuddy]

Just got my Tab S2 today. It is a refurb which didn't come with the tool for opening the SD card tray. I've been trying to use a paper clip but no luck. I'm curious as to how much pressure is needed to open the tray, and what kind of mechanism it uses. When inserting the tool is one releasing a spring catch type thing, or are you physically pushing the slot out? any help would be appreciated before I determine that I have to send the thing back.

If you can, find yourself a twist tie, the kind that comes with cheap garbage bags. Remove the outer part, either paper or plastic and try it. I found the wire in twist ties are small enough to fit into the hole.

The mechanism works like a lever. You press in on it and it pushes the tray out.

A needle or pin works. Just push into hole and make sure its square and it pushes a lever which releases a catch and the tray pops out. Make sure it's not at an angle or you'll damage the internals...
