Default [Q] broken/stuck micro sd card

Also posted this on another site, I could use any/all help!

I was attempting to pull my battery but I accidentally grabbed the tab to the micro SD card instead, so when I yanked what I thought was the battery, I ended up breaking the card right where it goes into the phone, making it impossible to pull out. Of course, the slot isn't spring loaded and nobody at the VZW store had any ideas for me (great cust svc). I think my only option is to get a hex screwdriver and tear it apart, but I'll try any suggestions you may have!

Get a piece of tape about an inch long ans stick it down over the SD card. Then try to pull it off. Idk if it will work or not but its worth a shot!!

maybe you can put something thin like a iphone sim card slot opener along the side where there is a small opening and then you can just maybe wiggle it out?

Is any of the sdcard exposed? If so, take a safety pin and press into the exposed area and angle it so you can push it out. I've not done it on this phone, but had a similar situation for a client of mine.

i had this happen to me to, i would advise just getting the screwdriver, i tried a bunch of different things to get the stupid card end out and nothing worked, the slot is too small to get it out and in such and akward position that you cant really get to it, I took it apart (super easy like Incredible) and just took a paper clip to push it out from the back of the sd mount (The back end has an open spots on each corner of the mount so its easy to push out, just do one side a bit then the other and continue until it falls out.)
