XPS 420 Media Card Reader

I would like to install an internal media card reader in my XPS 420. When I asked about this on the parts page, a Dell rep said I could call the spare parts number and order one.

 

The contact there was hard to understand (both accent and connection) but after much time said the only option is external - got one of those already, wanted the convenience of an internal.

 

The manual shows how to install one which leads me to believe he may have been mistaken. Anyone know and, if so, the part number? Thanx

     This is what I got from Dell ChrisM when I

    asked her for the part #. I have not tried to

    order it yet, so I do not know if the # are

    good or not.

    Interesting, from the 5 times I've called Dell, all calls have been answered within a couple minutes and all spoke like local college kids.  Probably all from Round Rock, TX.  A welcomed voice considering the alternatives.......

    There's also this as an alternative.

    Just wanted to report back. Used the part numbers refrenced above, ordered and installed easily. The Dell case gets easier to work with every new design. Thanx everyone!

    Wouldn't know, not having had one as installed from the factory. Works fine, in any case.

    So it is the same one that comes with XPS 420 from the factory?

    How exactly did you enter those part numbers and where?

    It gives me no results?

    I was hoping you might be able to answer these questions.  Did the connector cable come with the read or did you indeed have to buy it separately?  The card reader is the one with Blue Tooth I asssume?  Do you remember about how much it cost??

     

    Thanks for any help you can provide.
