    just got my a70 KL1
    but for some strange reason the pc card ejector thing sticks out and i can't seem to push it in.
    sorry i'm a newbie with laptops and don't really know how to fix this
    does anyone know if there's something wrong with my computer?

    Thanks

    There may be a "blank" piece of plastic in the pcmcia bay whch may require you to remove it manually (by pulling it out with your fingers).

    1. Push the stick all the way in. It will force the blank filler piece to come out. Make sure the stick stays in.
    2. Pull out the filler piece all the way out and push it back in and eveyrthign should be fine.

    I definitely felt like I was dealing with some twisted puzzlebox while I was figuring that pc card out.
