    Are you pushing it in all the way? Do you have another machine to try it in (perhaps it's defective)?

    After looking up the model number of the card you're using, you can not use it with the m1330. That card is a PCMCIA card while the m1330 has an Express Card slot. Two different beasts that don't work with eachother. Sorry.

    You need a card that looks like either the 1st or 2nd in this picture.
