    A very basic problem but grateful for advice. I want to upload photos from a SD card but the card reader drawer will not open. It is sprung loaded & moves a couple of mms either way. Acer quick guide says 'Push to remove/install the card'.

    Sprung loaded card reader drawer? There is now "drawer". Do you mean the dummy card? Remove it and insert your SD card.

    Well, push the dummy/card and it pops out a few mil, then pull.

    Then insert the card and push it in all the way until it clicks.

    No, it doesn't look anything like a DVD drive. It looks like this:

    The card reader slot is at the front of your laptop, at the right hand side.

    And usually, there is a dummy card in the slot in the same colour as the laptop.

    I've had a few acer laptops, wife had 3. Never heard of a "drawer". They all came with a card slot with a "dummy card" as Torqay said. Basically a blank bit of plastic in the slot to stop dust getting in.
    They've all been spring loaded, you have to press it in to release it. A few have been really stiff, had to push it in fairly hard to get it to pop back out. Push right in the middle.

    Thanks T & C. Dummy card is right & perhaps apt, tho' I had to undo screws on rear panel & 'help' dc out with a flat head screwdriver.

    IT'S the little things that can trip you up, as former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds was wont to say.
