I had this problem and it turned out that one of the pins
on the PC card slot had been forced back out the inside end
of the slot, breaking the solder joint. To fix it, I had to
open the newt, use a large needle to reposition the pin
(took a bit of force, IIRC) and then delicately re-solder
the connection...
Probably not helpful given your current circumstances, but
that's my story...
