I'm feeling kinda stupid i was removing my micro sd card and sim card first thing this morning and in my haste i managed to put the micro sd card in the sim slot and now its stuck.
I would like to avoid taking it apart if possible so i dont void the warranty the only other option i can think of is to try and fish it out with something any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Your not the first person on here to do it Try tweezers

Try using a pin or needle, work each side until it loosens, working upside down so it'll just drop when loose.
Btw... Doh!
Thanks for the replies I managed to get the micro sd card out with a needle I will definitely be more careful in future those slots are a little bit close for comfort.
And just for anyone else reading this, always remember to turn a device off before fiddling with slots & ports.
I got a nice shock off my wife's Galaxy S when i was fiddling with her faulty USB slot with a metal pin!

Been trawling eBay the last few days for a TF card reader you plug directly into the S3s micro USB port, and I'm not talking about using an OTG cable and a normal card reader, I want something with micro USB plug on one side and TF slot on the other similar to what the Galaxy Tab has, and I'm sure it must exist somewhere so someone point me in the direction.
Something like this?

Something like that... But just a Micro SD reader so it's small as possible.

Not that it's a big deal, but why not just use the internal port?
I know you didn't want an OTG cable but what about an OTC Adapater (non cable version) with an very small micro sd reader? The SD reader below is what I use. I have 2 actually. One is about 2 years old, the other 1 year old. One goes in my car stereos USB port (had a spare 32Gb sd card so it made sense to use it for music) and is very small hanging out the front.
You could use this:

Well just think about it... With a tiny card reader stuck on the bottom you can treble the memory and still hold the phone and use it normally and store stuff like Emulator Roms and HD videos on which you can't really do with wires hanging out the bottom, and I'm running low on my 64gb card so this just gives me the best of all worlds.
And anyway the guy who got me thinking about it to begin with managed to find the place that sells exactly what I'm looking for.

Thats actually a good find, thanks!
Had the e4gt for about 4 months now and all of the sudden, my 32gb SD (or any SD) will show up on my external mount. Posting on here to get some ideas of what to try hoping that its not a hardware issue.
What I've done so far:
- I've formatted the card several times on my phone and on my laptop.
-Odin'd back to stock and rerooted on a different rom.
-Tried different SD cards
Still, no luck.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Solved easily with the suggestions below. Ribbon cable wasn't loose, but it didn't have a good connection apparently. Disconnected and reconnected the end of the ribbon cable for the SD cradle that plugs into the main board. Took a couple of tries but my SD card is available once again.

Sounds like you have a bad slot. It is an easy fix. You can get a new cradle online. I would try to see if the flex cable came loose though.

I agree. Lucky for you, SGS2s are extremely easy to disassemble. Check eBay for replacement SD slots. They are dirt cheap.
Re: [Q] SD Card not mounting
Sounds like this might be a semi-common problem. Thanks guys. Will check back when I figure it out.

Re: [Q] SD Card not mounting
Issue solved. Took the phone apart and fiddled with the SD cradle connector on the main board. Took a couple of tries but it worked. Thanks for the help people.

Hello Guys,
So what happened was, i bought a sim card adapter so that i could use a one sim in my P601 tablet and my phone. When i received my adapter, i wanted to see if it fits in the Sim Card slot, it then got stuck. I eventually had to pull it out, and so small little copper pins came along with it. I need to replace the Sim / SD Card unit, see attached.
Any help where i can get this?
Just wondering, is there any possible way to take the sim card holder out of the xperia play r800i? I have taken out the back housing with a t5 torx screw driver and now I can't take out the sim card holder or even the micro sd card holder.
The reason for this is that my phone isn't recognizing any sim card I put in it. I am 100% sure this is a hardware problem as half a pin came out of my sim card holder when I forced out a stuck sim adapter.
I can see xperia play sim card holders on eBay so there must be a way to take the previous one out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Wondering if anything like this exists.. been searching around to see if something like this has been done by anyone. Since the Pixel doesn’t have an SD card reader. Has anyone made a slim reader that ticks behind the phone? Or maybe a case with an SD card and plugs into USB C?
I mean I can just stick a reader to the back and be done. But wondered if some sort of elegant solution had been made.

I have not seen one. I was looking for a wireless charging case and did not see one or anything with a SD Card slot.
Also, have not seen anything but would be cool!
Doesn't it seem kinda obvious to make? We have USB C that is faster and supports more than micro USB. Making an extended battery case with a micro SD card slot would be perfect. Hmm
Iphone has them we need them

I'm super good with electronics, I'm thinking about getting a battery case and hacking a otg in to it with micro SD reader. Would be a easy direct solder and all in the case nothing external.
