Memory card won't go back in

Memory card won't go back in

I removed my memory card last night from my Canon a590IS to upload my pix from a card reader to my hard drive on my computer, now when I try to put the memory card back in the camera it does not want to fully go back in. This is the first time I have had this problem.

Look inside your memory slot with a flashlight and check for misaligned contact at the base of the slot or something that could make obstruction.

"I have the same problem with a PS A580 and haven't found an answer yet. I looked in the slot with a flashlight and couldn't see anything.

Does anyone know how these things are supposed to work. I suspect that there is a small spring at the bottom of the memory slot with a miniature catch and that somehow this spring has moved from the catch and is blocking the release mechanism.

Does anyone know how these memory slots work?"
