LAPTOP MEDIA CARD READER
Hi folks, my first post - I recently bought a Dell i15RV - 1382 BLK from MicroCenter and according to their website it included an 8 in 1 card reader that says
| Card Reader | 8-in-1 Memory Card Reader - |
|---|---|
| Media Supported | Secure Digital MMC Memory Stick Memory Stick PRO xD SDHC SDXC |
after spending a half day wondering why I couldn't get my xD card to insert - I found (with magnifying glass) the following on the front of laptop above the card reader slot - SD/MMC-MSPro - so I assume that MicroCenter's web site is incorrect and I didn't get a card reader that will accept my xD picture card - I feel kinda
stupid. Was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Thanks, Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,
Well the card reader in your Inspiron 15 laptop does support xD Cards. The xD card is a substitute of SD card family, that is the reason it is not mentioned on the laptop above the card reader slot. Try inserting the xD card with the golden plates side towards the bottom and the sticker facing upwards and you should be able to insert it.
Here is an example of the xD card. Look for this arrow mark on the top and insert it the same way as it is in the picture.
Hope this helps.

Hi Jimmy,
Yes sure you can go ahead and watch the tech insert it too. That's a good idea!

Thank you Jyotpal for the quick response, I would think I could put a card in a slot but just too afraid to force it - will carry the laptop with me when I go into Houston later this week & watch Microcenter's tech insert it - thanks for including the picture - not feeling too smart! Jimmy:)
