As previously mentioned the “hooks” on the eject mechanism are folded flat. It looks like the card carrier portion of the slot can be disconnected from the connector via a bayonet type of latch. Anyone have any experience with this on the QS8 or these type of slot mechanisms?
Update: I was able to repair the problem by sliding the eject mechanism back and slightly over the carrier. This allowed me to move it back far enough to reach the hooks.
