    Can someone help me- I have a new T400s and would like to add the media card reader (it didn't come with one) I assume it goes in the slot on the left side of my computer- a part number and a recommendation on where to order one would be helpful- I called lenovo and didn't get any help- Im running windows 7 64 bit pro- will I need to load some new drivers? Thanks for any help. Rick

    Appears to be FRU# 45M2658 (from the T400s hardware maintenance manual). I don't know what drivers would be required, but presume if any they are available through the usual download channels for Lenovo.

    just buy an aftermarket expresscard card reader, they work the same. But length wise they could stick out...
