Gordon: I don't know the hardware about which you are talking, but have some experience with PCMCIA cards. No tampering with the socket should be needed. 1. make sure that the card is the correct way up - usually with the manufacturer's name on the top. 2. having inserted the card, usually a bit more force is required at the end of range to locate the connectors in the socket.

Should I push harder, is there a way to get fullaccess to the slot or is this not the correct kind of card for this expansion slot in my Del XPS1210? Any help gratefully received.
