[ltp] PCMCIA card jammed in slot

[Helen Borrie]

Hello list,

Hope someone can help!  I have a Type III card in my (2) pcmcia slots and 
it seems to be stuck.  I want to get it out....

I followed the instructions in the manual, (TP 390E) pressing the two eject 
buttons at the left sides of the two card slots to make them (the buttons) 
pop out.  That bit worked.

The next step was "Press it [the eject button] again until the PC Card pops 
out".

Hmm, what actually happened was that the top slot's button (the slot not 
being used) pops in and out like the Devil at a Punch and Judy show.  But 
the bottom slot's button just comes up against something and won't push in 
at all.

Note, I didn't have any problems when originally installing the 
card.  Since then the TP hasn't been dropped, or bumped, or otherwise 
exposed to trauma and the card worked fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Helen
