Krome ate my SD card

[Mike Hildner]

So I was trying to insert the SD card, reaching around from the front of the keyboard and insert it into the slot. Apparently I angled it up a bit and the card missed the slot and disappeared into the void just above the receptacle.

Tried to tilt the keyboard up and shake it out, unbent a paper clip and fished around, no joy - that card is in there somewhere.

While I don't care so much if I lost an SD card, I'm wondering:

1) Should I worry about this? I don't want to have the card touch something and short it out.
2) If I should worry about it, what's the best way to get it out? If it's super easy I could try to take things apart, or maybe it's worth the money to bring it to a tech?

Thanks,
Mike

Here's a link to another post on this Forum--relating to the same problem. I hope it eases your mind. When I read the post that I'm referencing in the link, I couldn't understand how that could happen. But since you said that it went in on an "angle"--I'll be more careful. Good luck.

Thanks jggiano,

Indeed that's the same exact problem. I'm going to try to open it up and see what happens.

You're welcome. Let us know how things turn out for you.

Well, I didn't get very far with this at all.

Using a phillips, I took out the 9 screws on the back panel hoping then I could easily remove it. That didn't happen - the panel was still firmly in place. Tried jiggling it around some but it seems it's still firmly in place - certainly didn't want to put too much pressure on it.

Of course I have no idea if that was the right thing to try or not - never gave this type of thing a shot before.

If anyone has any idea on what perhaps I should try, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Mike

remove all large black screws that are visible
DO NOT remove the screws on the metal strip at center.
look inside the grooves on the base and you should find 4 screws with smaller tips as well as a few marked with arrows near the round slots
remove those and the top should come loose.

when removing the top, take extra care to be sure you dont put too much tension on the cable that connects to the keybed.

if i get a chance ill follow up with pics tonight to show you... otherwise hopefully i explained in enough detail to steer you the right direction.

Thanks demonhyde,

I appreciate the information. I think I get you - looking at the base I think I see the 4 screws you're talking about. Gotta go to rehearsal so I can't take things apart right now - will give it a shot when I can.

Pics would be awesome if you get the time! Would certainly help me and potentially anyone else with the same need.

Thanks again and all the best,
Mike
