    Recently, I had left my 9-in-1 media slot filler at work, can anyone tell me where I can get a new one? I have an Alienware M17x R3.

    Otherwise, call dell, check ebay.

    haha that wouldn't be such a bad idea after all, I've tried looking for the part but I don't think we have replacements for that. However, I'll double check on Monday with our dispatch team.

    I've checked ebay and called dell and neither has one for sale. Dell told me to buy a new card reader. Ebay has nothing.

    You need to have made a few more posts on NBR to "unlock" PM priveledges to send and receive. If you keep left clicking on the name of the person you want to PM, a dropdown menu will appear with a few options. Keep posting and checking this and once you have priveledges, you will see the option to "send a private message" appear in that list....shouldnt take many more posts as you have 3 already... ;)
