Supercard Lite Won't Come Out :(

IIatronachII · August 10, 2006, 09:08:10 AM

Can someone help me take out the Supercard Lite? I wanted to see how it looked, but now I want to open it and paint it black to match my DSL, the only thing is it won't come out

. Help please.

Why doesn't it come out, I've heard it was a tight fit, but never that it got stuck.
I had the same problem with my EFA linker 1 and orginal DS.

I dunno how to get it out, but once you do, do you think it will be a smart idea to paint it? That will just slightly increase the tightness of the fit.

Maybe you should sand it down a bit first (or mod the case that came with your DS lite?).

I remove mine using the edge of a pen right in the middle and pushing it out. It is a tough one to get out, to be sure, but it WILL come out.

Something tels me that SC-L revision2 is coming soon (without it being announced of course).

they might not fix the problem ever becuase they never fixed it on the supercard SD

I doubt they'll fix it as they would have to change the plastic mold which would cost lots of money.

What problem with the SC-SD?

I doubt that changing the master mold in china would cost alot of money!
It's just a matter of them having to do extra work(implicit costs) and cutting into their current profits.

Taking the guts out of the Supercard lite to put into the dummy shell would be a lot of work. You would need to fit both pcb's into the shell, and you need to open up the inside of the connector area, so the microsd card slot can poke through, since it's a bit longer than the available space. It's hard to explain, but if you look at the connector side of the Supercard Lite, you'll know what I mean.
It would be alot easier to just sand down the bottom side of the supercard Lite.

As to taking the supercard lite out of the DS. I use both my thumb nails to pull on one side, it'll just move a little. Then switch to the otherside, do this 4-5 times and it comes out.

Do you know what problem rocky is talking about?
My SC-SD works fine......

Im talking about how the supercard SD fits in the GBA slot its realy tight. on the SC mini SD they fixed that but its not as big of a porblem as the micro SD

Scor · August 10, 2006, 03:19:23 PM

In the GBA slot of what device?
I've had it in my DS phat, DSlite, GBAmicro and had no problems.
It fits really nice in there.

markus · August 10, 2006, 03:31:21 PM

Same here!
My SC-SD fits nicely into my DS and DSL.

rocky · August 10, 2006, 03:31:50 PM

well mine fits tighter than a normal gba game. its almost hard to get out but its gotten better. some people say it streches the plastic.

edit: wait it does I just looked at mine and it bubbles up in the middle of the gba slot
