HI Everyone,

I purchased a DLINK wireless network card for my Dell Latitude C640 notebook. When I insert the card into the slot in my notebook- the system doesnt recognize it until I literally "jam" it into the slot. I think the copper top of the network card isnt making good contact with the connector on the notebook slot (not grounding the card). If I apply downward pressure while inserting the card- the card is recognized and works perfectly until I let go (and then my whole notebook freezes).

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can get this card to fit more securely into my notebook? I would REALLY appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.
D

I dont have any other cards to test- Ill ask a colleague if I can try my card in their laptop. this should rule out a problem with the card by process of elimination.

thanks,
