Does anyone else have issues getting the card in the slot? I have to practically force the card in to get it into the slot. I'm wondering if its misaligned.
I think it may be. I've had 5 Surface 2s and had no issues getting the card in or out. Based on my experience with this device, there are some hardware issues so I wouldn't be surprised if you are dealing with one yourself.
A good way to test would be to go to a store and check on a display unit.
