Kinda makes me wonder...what was inserted into this
Newt that would have pushed in the same pin?
Although I do remember that the day prior to the upper
slot failing, I popped in a Bluetooth card that a
friend let me look at. I put it in the upper slot and
the Newt complained that it couldn't recognize the
card so I removed it...but I never put it in the
bottom slot so I don't think this was the entire
cause.
