Expresscard stuck please help

[orbitalbone]

Hi there

managed to get myself a second hand X230 laptop which I am very happy with. It came bundled with a Gemalto ExpressCard Smart Card Reader from Lenovo, Part number: 41N3043 already in the slot. At the moment I have no need for this and would like to remove it.

Was expecting a small button to eject the card,but I had a look at the manual and understand it is spring loaded in the inside, tried to push it to release the card so it would pop out but nothing happens and i'm scared to force it as it may break.



Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.



Thanks
