Thanks for the advice. I've never needed/used a laptop regularly, and
the fragility of the card edge hadn't occurred to me until now. (From
a hardware perspective, my only thought was to check for bent/broken
pins inside the laptop.) I suppose nobody designs a connector that
relieves stress on the card edge?
