    Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I just have to make sure about something. I have the HP DV6326US and next to the DVD player on the right side is a slot and I pressed it and out came this piece plastic. Now is this slot for what I think it's for; the remote? I thought it was for the remote but the manual reads it's for an express card. "Supports optional ExpressCard/54 cards" :confused:

    Its the express card reader/slot. The remote if it was equipped is stored in that slot otherwise you just get a plastic place holder.

    yes if ur not using the expresscard slot for anything else, then you can store your little remote in the slot. that's what i do, just have to press with a little more pressure to make the remote click into place.

    Express card... what bunk! There's hardly any express cards available to use it with. I just park my remote in there. Wished they should've stayed with pcmcia.. more useful cards to choose from.

    rofl, they wear these little hats... one of them left it out when he poked his head out. i said, "hey you forgot something," and he came out, blushed, and took his hat. they're pretty nice. :)
