Hi There Everyone!
I’m having an issue with my S8, where my Sim card tray won’t eject from my device. Is there anyway to remove tray without having to open my device.
Thank You!
Is this a good question?

Gave up and decided to take it to a local repair shop. They manged to get it out by using a dental pick like this one (Amazon Link) and wiggling the pic around until it came loose. Apparently it broke inside the phone so i’ll need to purchase a new sim card tray but at least now i can install my sim card and micro sd card.
Hopefully this helps someone!

Totally, I read this and was like, don't use a dental pic. I ended up using a blunted (broken) felting tip from my sewing kit, but any non-pointy metal pick that is small/strong enough to fit in there would probably work. It's totally mechanical and not spring loaded, so it only slightly pops out. It's still enough to release the locking thing and let you get it out by hand.
TL/DR
blunted pin downward motion
