GameCube memory card STUCK in Wii

[BoneSnapDeez]

Seriously.

I googled this and it seems to happen quite a bit.

I inserted two Nintendo-brand memory cards into my Wii, as I played GameCube games for quite a while. When I was done, one card popped out - the other is firmly stuck.

Any suggestions?

And if that don't work...




Sorry, I know how annoying that is.

This is pretty weird tho, I've never heard of this. I don't use my Wii much for Gamecube games, but every time I do I remove the memory card when I'm done. I've never gotten it stuck before.

It's not like it clips in or anything, can't you just pull harder on it to get it out?

Actually there are those indentions on the sides.

Search "gamecube memory card stuck in wii" on google or wherever - this hasn't happened to just me. Is the slot on the Wii shaped different than on the GC???? Very frustrating.

I've never gotten one stuck to the point where I couldn't get it out, but my GC mem cards are definitely a tight fit and I have to give them a good yank. I have a first party Nintendo one and a third party one and neither of them like to come out. I just leave them in, that's probably the best solution if you aren't using your GC anyway.

If it was stuck to the point where heaving it wouldn't get it out I would probably put a dab of soap (or whatever lube) around the edges and ease it out. Not enough to seep in, just enough to release the friction.

Maybe loosen the phillips screws on that Wii black face plate under the door? Might even have to go underneath as well. From my Wii Laser Changeout:

Game Port Panel Screw List
Two Black Short Length Self Tapping Phillips - Black Face Plate
One Black Medium Length Machine Phillips - Black Face Plate and Drive Slot Cover
Two Silver Long Length Self Tapping TriWing - Gamecube Controller Port Side



Remove the Controller Port and SD Slot covers, both open 90 degrees and slide straight up. Using the tiny PH000 bit, remove the three black Phillips screws. Remove the black controller port panel. Using the 3mm TriWing bit, remove the two silver TriWing screws on the controller port side. The two silver Phillips screws on the other side do not have to be removed.

CRT, the latex gloves impressed me. Dedication.

Yeah, I wear latex gloves often when doing stuff. My hands tend to sweat a lot, and wearing gloves helps to everything clean. Also, when your hands get dirty you just have to take the gloves off and replace them instead of having to go wash your hands.

Oh crap, my reputation is ruined! When I work on my car I use engine oil as hand cleaner. Sorry to disappoint, the pics are Google Search Images.

@ Bone - Any luck getting that memory card out?

Haven't tried yet! I've been playing games that utilize the data on the card. I'll report back in a few days.
