    Flakey SD Card Reader in my Studio XPS 1645!

    My SD card reader isn't working very well. When I push a card in and let it click into place, coming back out a little, my laptop doesn't recognize it. I have to push and hold the card all the way down to the bottom of its travel for the computer to recognize it. This means I have to keep my hand on it to use it. The card works fine in my girlfriend's m1530.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    P.S. Apparently I don't know how to spell flaky...

    Probably your best bet is to call Dell... sounds like a hardware issue.
