    My W500 seems to having a problem ejecting and holding in place SD cards. I can insert and SD card but the push once to insert and have it hold it in place and then push again to eject is not functioning. The card sits in the in the slot and I can view contents but if I move around with the notebook, I'm sure it will slip out. Anyone else experience or have a solution to this? I also heard that the SD slot is part of the system board and may require a replacement of the system board to fix. Thanks for any help.

    Does it fall out? And can you get it out? Talk to support...

    If a system board needs to be replaced it needs to be replaced, get it done while under warranty.
