    Hi folks.

    I cant get my supplied Expresscard/34 reader to 'click in' to the slot if you know what i mean.

    It goes all the way in but just wont stay in, nor will the 'filler' piece that came with the vaio.

    Could anyone advise me what to do?


    Thanks very much.

    If you are sure you are inserting it correctly, you may want to return it or contact Sony.

    Can anyone think of anything to put into the PCX slot? I cannot find a thing :(
    A quad-band GSM card would be nice...

    ¡Buenas noches, zii!

    As I recall, you live in Chile, so this may not apply to you right at this moment but an article in PC Magazine mentioned that Novotel would be coming out soon with ExpressCard/34 cards for both EV-DO (Verizon and Sprint in the U.S.) and HSDPA (Cingular and T-Mobile, both GSM providers in the U.S.) high speed networks.

    Because most of the GSM providers in the world will likely go the HSPDA route sooner or later, I predict that Entel Chile will eventually follow suit and you will be able to use an ExpressCard/34 HSDPA high speed connection down there as well.

    ¡Chao!
