Hello,
On my EliteBook 850 G8, I can see the Smart Card Reader on the left side of the laptop. There is something silver blocking the opening. I tried pushing on it with a paperclip and it did not open.
Does this silver piece mean my laptop didn't come with the smart card reader?

Hello @triggz00
The <smart card reader> is optional, if it was not ordered the module is not installed ! Check your order/invoice. This could be the reason why a cover is attached, because there is no reader installed ! |
