The MacBook Pro WAS Supporting an ExpressCard

Belkin just got back to me and says that the FireWire ExpressCard F5U505 is not compatible with MacBook Pro.

That's weird because it was working fine until I popped it out of hte slot and then couldn't pop it back in.

Here's my email into Belkin support:

Just because it`s not supported does not mean it does not work.

It works. It just does not stay in the slot.

I guess it`s a MacBook Pro hardware problem. Just wanted you to help me rule out a problem with the card.

But it sounds like you don`t do that.

They fail to address the problem with the card not being able to remain seated in the ExpressCard Slot.

To me, it just sounds like a "It's not my job" type of answer. And I hate that.

Update:
After a visit to TechSuperpowers in Boston, it has been determined that the I/O port on the MacBook Pro is bad. It's being replaced.
