Thanks for the reply. I will have a check today and would request for assistance for any further clarifications

I'm unable to still use Micro SD card from moble or my Camera card Memory stick Duo pro. Had a check with dell support by call and they informed that if the card supports then actually it will fit into the slot.

In my laptop, what is written is SD/MMC-MS PRO near the port

Also written 3M1M5

Laptop model : Inspiron 15R

Then which cards  does my laptop support?

Hi RFED,

Apologies for the incorrect information that I shared in my previous post. Instead of 'Inspiron 5520', I gave the specifications for 'Inspiron N7010' laptop.

'Inspiron 5520/15R' has an '8 in 1 Media Card Reader' which is located on the front right-side of the system. This card reader supports up to 8 media types which makes it easy to transfer data between your PC and your digital camera, MP3 player, PDA, or other portable devices. The following 'media types' are supported by the 'media-card reader' installed in the notebook.

However, using a 'Micro SD Card Adapter' should be useful to get the 'Micro SD Card' working. Please check if the Camera's 'Memory stick' fits into the 'card reader' properly. 

You may also try updating the 'Card reader' drivers to ensure proper functionality; and re-check results.

Hope this helps. Do reply with the findings; would be glad to assist.

I have sony camera card which is named "Memory stick pro duo" which does not fit into the card reader slot which I have on my laptop.

I have card reader which I can use to read my sony camera card or mobile Micro SD card, may I know whether the card which you mentioned above will fits into the slot when we enter it?

Hi RFED,

While researching I came across some vital information in regards to the 'Memory Stick Pro Duo' that you're trying to use: http://bit.ly/W28fwx

It appears that 'Memory Stick Pro' differs from 'Memory Card Pro Duo' in size/dimension; and may not work with the 'card reader' on this laptop. I tried, but could not find a suitable adapter. You may want to check with the 'card manufacturer' if any work around is possible.

Thanks for all the help

Hi RFED,

I have removed the "3m1m5" from my inspiron 15R SE, what is it?

Hi Stu Pididoit,

'3m1m5' is a 'dummy card' that is shipped inside the 'SD Card Reader' from the factory. It is not an essential component and removing it does not impact the system functionality in any way. Hope this helps. Do reply if you have any further questions; would be glad to assist.
