    I put in my Sony memory stick from my mobile into my A8F's memory card slot. I was under the impression that it would accept memory stick.

    Anyway to cut a long story short, the memory stick is now completely jammed and will not come out.

    Is there any special way of trying to remove it or will it involve a call to Asus support?

    Thanks

    lol I’ve seen that done before "mem stick duo" into the full size Sony Mem Stick slot.
    Your best bet is to power off laptop and see if you can try and fish it out with out breaking it.
    If not your next option would be to get Asus to fix it, if you where prepared to risk your warranty you may want to see if its possible to remove the main cover to your notebook and see if you can then get better access to the mem card reader from there to try and get the card out.

    You may want your reseller to have a look at it before you do anything regarding pulling or using pliers or tweezers to take it out.

    Or call your reseller or ASUS regarding this matter aswell.
