My only guess would be that some pins are damaged in the lower cage which are not used by the DVD-Video card but are with other cards. Your only option, I would think, would be to replace the PC card cage. But beware that you have to completely disassemble the Wallstreet to do so.

Usually this happens because it formerly pointed to something that has moved or disappeared. Used as jargon in a generalization of its techspeak meaning; for example, a local phone number for a person who has since moved to the other coast is a dangling pointer.
