    Has anyone tried to access a sony memorystick with the 5-in-1 reader on the e1505? it seems that i have to push the stick past the spring mechanism and hold the stick in place for the laptop to recognize and read the card. am i doing something wrong? i thought it should hold in place on its own.

    Other people had the same problem and said that after wiggling it a little the stick will click into place. Users said that they had to put more force on it than expected. So try that and see what happens.

    thanx. i tried wiggling it until it was in place. it seems that the spring mechanism is locked so the card doesnt shoot out anymore.

    I had a little trouble the first time but each time since then my memory stick would slide right in with no trouble.
