hi i just wanted to share my current experience regarding this problem. i was about to upload my photos from my memory card to my macbook pro but then i realized, after almost of my sd card was inside the slot, that i was putting on the wrong place. the tip of it still emerged just a little but and i tried grabbing it using pinset, the tip of my headset and it just become more worse, i cannot see the tip of it anymore. i got very frustrated and im about to go to the nearest apple store. but while searching for this answer on internet, i stumbled an answer that said they might charge you and might have to dismantled your macbook. i was very anxious and sad. so i keep on trying using an L shape paperclip but i cannot reached it still. so i changed using a more thick paper and make an L shape. it was so hard, and i feel that there was no presence of my sd card, my worse thought is that it might went too far in the mainbot that i cannot reach it. i prayed and hope for the best and i try it again and again hoping some miracle would pop out. and here i am feeling so blessed and wanted to share, that i managed to get my sd card out using the L shape of thick paper. the key is you gotta try and try and carefully without damaging any internal parts of the cd drive (i was very scared that i might add some cost to my cd drive if it was broken). when you feel that you have reached something hard just try to hook it and pull it through. really, when i feel the hard surface and when the L had hooked to the sd card, my heart just burst with happiness. the L shape made with thick paper really works. and goodluck for all you out there who might experience this kind of case. cheers & God bless
