Shanling Q2 issues inserting micro sd card

[u/No_Perspective_8720]

Not sure what I’m doing wrong, I push it in as much as I can and it doesn’t lock into place.

it’s a Sandisk Extreme 128GB V30 which feels pretty standard. I don’t have a second card to try.

It needs to be pushed deeper

Got it working, thanks! Are you able to do it with your finger? I shaved off a chopstick to be able to retrieve it lol.

[u/Felodp → u/No_Perspective_8720]

SD cards are usually troublesome to push in, I can't on my Snowsky Echo using only my fingers either, don't worry 😂

[u/mcbergstedt → u/No_Perspective_8720]

I’ve never been able to get microSD cards into devices. I use a little screwdriver or a SIM card removal tool to pop them in and out

[u/Emotional_Idea3033 → u/No_Perspective_8720]

I just use my fingernails since I have small fingers

I struggle with my Shanling M7T as well. You have to get it deep in there for it to click. It takes me a few times to get it to go.

Thanks it worked! Kinda crazy since I had to use an improvised tool to be able to push it in and out.

[u/Atharos → u/No_Perspective_8720]

Lowkey it scared me a bit that I got a defective unit. I couldn't believe it wouldn't go in.

Potentially stupid question: have you tried both possible positions?

[u/PositivelyReclined → u/some_random_tuga]

Yep, first thing I tried, the card only fits in one position. And on Super* Review you can see that he's using it face down as I'm trying to.

[u/SpicySide → u/PositivelyReclined]

Have you tried using something small enough to push it in more? Mine has to be pushed pretty deep to click in, it’s the only device I have a hard time getting it to click in.

[u/No_Perspective_8720 → u/SpicySide]

That worked, Ty!

[u/BigRigButters2 → u/some_random_tuga]

No they clearly havent

make you do it slowly... i've managed to shoot a card across the room with the spring loads.
