ExpressCard/54 will not stay plugged into laptop

Perhaps something under the card to support it while it's plugged in. It sounds like the slot is a little loose and allowing the card to move enough to unplug itself. Maybe a bit of tape around the card to make it fit more snugly. Pretty much a kludge, but it sounds like the slot is the problem.

Is the laptop still under warranty?
