My m515 (out-of-waranty) has recently stopped recognizing my expansion cards. I have 2 of them:
1. Panasonic SD 64MB
2. Palm Bluetooth SDIO card
Before the failure, insertion of either card would powerup the m515 and no 1 would automatically switch to the Card menu.

Now, insertion of either card has no effect whatsoever. Running card info on either card shows 'unknown'.

I insert/remove cards quite frequently so I would say that the expansion slot is subjected to quite heavy useage.

I'm suspecting the motherboard-mounted SD card connector.

Is there anywhere (preferably UK-based) where I could purchase a connector? I feel confident about desoldering/resoldering etc.

Alternatively, maybe I'm missing a trick with software installation problem etc.

Regards,

Nigel
