    The T400 card reader supports SD, SDHC,xD,xD Type H, MMC, MS and MS-PRO.

    I'd recommend to try reinstall the media card reader driver and see that helps.

    On the T400 it should appear underneath the ExpressCard on the left side. The PCMCIA slot should be replaced with a small slot in the center about the size of an SD card. Conversely, if you have an ExpressCard and PCMCIA slot, then you DON'T have the 7-1 reader.

    i dont think its the driver's fault, i think i might not have the 7-1 media reader even tho i brought it, so i want someone to help my ID what a 7-1 media reader looks like.
    this is what my thinkpad t400 looks like and the 7-1 media reader is what that picture looks like, is that a 7-1 media reader?
