    Hi everyone,



    I just recently purchased a customized T420s with an Expresscard SD card reader. However it can not be discovered in Win 7 Pro. I pluged the same Expresscard slot SD card reader into my the other notebook, and it is working. I tried to re-install the operation system from the default recovery drive. The BIOS setting is untoughed. (Verion 1.31). Still it is not working(no tone when pluging or unpluging).



    So this Expresscard slot on my T420s is not working at all. Is there any driver I need to install?



    Many thanks!!!

    There is an option to enable the expresscard in the bios. Check that first.
