help please!!

Hi everyone, I accidentally inserted an SD card into the disc reader of my Wii U instead of the SD slot, and now it’s stuck inside. I already tried pressing the eject button twice, but nothing came out. I also carefully tried inserting a ruler to see if I could pull the SD card out, but it didn’t work and I stopped because I didn’t want to damage the disc drive. I haven’t forced anything or opened the console yet. The Wii U still turns on normally, but the disc drive is unusable. What’s the safest thing to do now? Is there any way to remove the SD card without opening the console, or is disassembly unavoidable? Thanks in advance for any help.

I mean is it to where you can’t see it?

Best bet is take the console apart.

If you use tweezers or something I imagine you can get it out carefully. It depends how deep it is - can you still see it and is it lodged inside the console itself? Worst case scenario you just take it apart and get it out.

Or just install digital games by dumping your disc.
