Hi,
since the SD card is recognised on another computer, it results that the slot on the laptop is indeed faulty.
you wont be able to repair it on your own. if ity is still on warranty, contact your dealer or else you will have to pay for the cost.
well, you may also use an external card reader to read your SD card. it is cheap, so better you use it rather than paying a large sum of money repairingthe slot.

It is not uncommon for some laptops to be unable to recognize PCCard equipment, including USB PCCards and memory cards. This is often due to a software problem, such as a missing driver.
You can test your computer's PCCard connector by inserting a network card, which will normally work without the use of any special drivers. If the network card works, the computer and PCCard connector is OK, and you need to go looking for a software driver for the memory card. The maker of your laptop should have the required software available for download. If not, contact the computer maker's support department.
