The "card" in the machine appears upside down and backwards as the contacts face up on the outside of the unit. I cannot find how to remove this. I assume it is for some clinician cable hook up but I would like to insert a ResMed SD card.
I have not found this issue online. I have tried pushing in and pulling out and tried very gently using a pliers, no luck.
Elite 2 SD Card (?) Cannot be removed
Re: Elite 2 SD Card (?) Cannot be removed
Someone..... inserted the card upside down and backwards (?).... Take it to a DME and see what they suggest. How long have you had the machine? Is it an S9 or S8? If it is an S8 you may not be looking at a card. That machine takes a special card and what you may be looking at is where the card goes into the unit.

Re: Elite 2 SD Card (?) Cannot be removed
What's the backstory? New machine, someone else's machine, first time you've looked at the SD card, what?

Re: Elite 2 SD Card (?) Cannot be removed
LSAT is probably correct. You cannot insert an SD card the wrong way. It simply won't fit. I mean I guess you could, but you'd end up destroying the card in the process and probably damaging the drive as well.

Re: Elite 2 SD Card (?) Cannot be removed
The Elite II is part of the S8 series and does not take an SD card. Instead it takes a smart card (oddball data card) that is 1980's technology. The contacts in question are part of the main circuit board, not a data card that is stuck in the machine. The contacts are used for attaching a data module, which allows you to connect the machine to a PC with a cable. There is another set of contacts further back in the machine for reading the data card.LSAT wrote:Someone..... inserted the card upside down and backwards (?)....

The card stick for the elite II looks like a stick of gum
