    So... Somehow, I've managed to get my R4 cart stuck in my DS!

    When I press on it to pop it up like any other cart, it comes up, but when you try to pull it out it acts like its stuck on something and won't give it up. ... I'm a bit hesitant to give it a good yank to get it out of there for fear of damaging anything. ... Anyone else run into this hitch? Or have any good suggestions for prying it out of there?

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, that sounds like the connection pins have collapsed inside the slot. If they have then you will have to replace the slot

    Not had to try it myself, but maybe worth trying to slide a piece of card in and ease the card out? Gotta be worth a go before having to take it apart anyway.... and could be that the the slot is fine and its just the card that needs replacing.

    Waah? Damn. ... I didn't know that could happen. What causes the pins to collapse?
