t400s card reader actually an express card card reader!

[cassiohui]

i apologise in advance if this is a well know secret, but i was reading the hmm and came across this







just unscrew the screw pointed by the red arrow in picture #4 and #5 and voila!

came across this in the hmm...and i believe it applies to the t410s and t410si as well

now i'm gonna get a express card 34 card reader that actually supports sdhc to replace this (i think it's supposed to support sdhc? but it doesn't recognise mine for some reason)

Nice find, makes it even more useful.

Very cool. Thanks

Sorry. Dummy here. I looks like I can remove the 5 in one card reader and insert an express card modem instead. Right? Also looks like I have to remove the keyboard first. Right? Where can I find instructions for removing keyboard? Is it something a klutzy novice can handle or is it a job for the Geek Squad. The T410s was my Birthday present to my wife and I'd hate to destroy it...

Good find. And I was worried about losing the Express Card slot with the card reader!
