Is it just me or after inserting an sd card, there's a slight bump on the top of the slot? Like as if the card is responsible for it.
Or do you think it's broken? It still closes though. The slot did come off recently when the phone fell 3-4 times.

I had the exact issue and it was bothering me to no end. Apparently the micro-sd card actually 'clicks' in. Use the back of the key they gave you to push the microSD card further in (I don't have long nails so I couldn't do it LOL)
thanks a lot dude! now it's petfectt
lol at nails

Oops, I've somehow managed to break the SD Card Slot.
It was working fine up until this morning, I haven't even dropped it or anything just removed the card to replace it with another and now the thing won't click in to place.
I've tried 3 different cards, tried selotape and gaffa tape to secure it in but nothing is working.
Has anyone got any suggestions or solutions.
Thanks
Pete
Found the solution
I played around, putting the SD in every which way it would fit and found that putting it in upside down it pushed the spring and stayed down. SO i just pulled it out, without pressing down first and voila it's sorted.
Just proves, if at first you don't succeed....don't hit it with a hammer.
Hey team,
This might be a stupid question...hope I'm not missing something simple.
Do I need additional hardware besides the MicroSD card itself?
I loaded the firmware update onto my Nexus One's MicroSD card. Powered it off, yanked the MicroSD card, and went to insert it into the Transformer.
As I'm inserting it, it recognizes external storage (and the update it found on the card, as the exclamation mark appears), but it won't "snap" into the device and springs out far enough that the device no longer sees it.. There's some spring pressure back to me, and it feels like the card should "click in." But no luck...
Am I doing it wrong?
Thanks.
Just need to push in a bit harder the card sits very flush with the case.

Thanks...although I think I just chipped a fingernail...that's some serious force it took.

You may want to use your nail to push the card slightly beyond the opening and it should click and comes back out flush with the case. Or wait and buy my 5 dollar asus microsd card inserter gadget.
Oh and if you download that on your nexus...make sure you unzip it and put the ASUS folder on the root of the card...else it would be sitting in download folder or something.
Hehe...where do I buy that gadget?
Got the unzip part...the update was successful.
Let's see if HDMI out has improved at all!
I've got loads of spare mobile phone sim cards around so I just use one of those to press it in each time. Failing that you could use a credit card i suppose as they are about the same thickness. Makes it a bit easier than using a fingernail. Yeah it goes in a fair way before it clicks and holds the card but at least it sits flush to the bezel.
My MicroSD got shot across the room by the spring when i first inserted it! But i have pretty big hands so it was fiddly.

LOL. OMG, my coworkers are looking at the crazy guy laughing his ass off.
So, as you can probably guess from the thread title, my SIM Card is not being recognized by my phone and I cannot seem to get the tray open. Will AT&T fix this even if I've rooted my phone and unlocked my bootloader? Any suggestions on how to get my tray open? I've tried using the tool that came with my phone and a paperclip and neither of them will open the tray.
Edit: I finally managed to pry it open. After taking the SIM Card out and putting it back in again, everything is working fine for now. Hopefully it stays that way.

the easiest way to get the door open is to use a pin or toothpick or something of the sort and push it into the small hole on the sim door gently until it pops right open
So it sounds like it was working fine, then you had the SIM not recognized error, and tried to open the tray? Does it seem that the tray is damaged or anything like that? Did you previously open the tray, drop the phone or anything that may have caused the tray to get damaged? Seems odd that something like that would just happen spontaneously. Or does the tray seem okay, just a lot harder to open than you thought it would be?

Well I guess I lightly dropped it onto the carpet the night before it stopped working. Also, the main problem was that I couldn't get the tray to open using the little hole next to it. Maybe it just seemed hard because I remember it popping open a lot easier when I first put in a SIM card.
Have you fixed it yet bro?

Yeah, everything is working fine now.
I just got a new sandisk 64gb card for my infinity - and the bugger got stuck when I stuck it in the port. I've tried repeated pushing on it with a micro screw driver and tried a pair of watchmaker tweezers to pull it out, but nothing I've tried is getting the release to work. Of course, I've just unlocked the bootloader so I'm sure Asus will 'fart in my general direction' so I'm sure I'll have to dig it out myself. Anyone have any ideas??

Happened to me once, got it out with a very thin tweezers
I tried that but it's stuck in the locked position - it won't disengage from the lock. I have some thin tweezers, but even if I pull, it seems like it's locked in there. Before I yank on it (they're too thin to put much force on it) I wanted to make sure I didn't wreck something.
What you need to do is blow some hot air into the slot with a hair dryer on medium. Heat up the SD card and the slot for 30 seconds and you can easily eject that out.
I got it out! Once I got it out I looked in there. The card slot is not lined up properly with the hole on the case - when you look straight in, the bar on the SD cage is off by half a cage width. I had sent it off for service and obviously it didn't get put back together right. I'll have to call and see if they will do good on fixing mistakes of their reconstruction or not...
Okay, I recently replaced my SD card slot after it dropped in some water. When I put it down or tap on the back the SD card disconnects and reconnects. I think one problem might be is there wasn't enough adhesive left ot secure the sd card slut. Anyone know what adhesive you use to secure that slot?
