You may be right. However, even when brand new I could never get any
Linux distro to mount it writable. Best I could do was read-only. (Yes,
the switch was in the right position.) I only wanted it writable so that
I could transfer 30+ GB of mp3s to the card that I use in my phone.
Eventually I gave up and plugged the phone into a USB port on the T61.
It was slow, but I only ever needed to do it once. 

It was when I started CPAP that I discovered that it had become
completely broken and wouldn't even read SD cards. So I spent the grand
sum of $2 with free shipping for an external reader that has been
working fine ever since. Some things aren't worth the trouble to fix
them.
