possible PCMCIA hardware fault

I am using a Toshiba Satellite L300, having repaired this for a friend after his spilling coffee all over its innards. Basically almost everything is working now, but I have just tried the PCMCIA socket and I do believe it is faulty. There are no PCMCIA nor yenta messages in dmesg or any log. When I insert a working PCMCIA card and watch /var/log/messages.log there are no new messages generated upon insertion. I have "pcmciautils" installed and "lspcmcia" returns nothing as does "pccardctl status". I have also tried "modprobe yenta_socket" to no avail.

The above seems to indicate to me a faulty PCMCIA socket, but I could be wrong. Any ideas appreciated. BTW why is there no /etc/rc.d/pcmcia daemon???
