PC Card problems

PC Card checklist

❖Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See “Using PC Cards” in the electronic user’s guide.
❖Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality control. If
another PCMCIA-equipped computer is available, try the card in that
machine. If the card malfunctions again, it may be defective.
Here are some common problems and their solutions:

Properties.
The System Properties window appears.
3Click the Hardware tab.
4Click the Device Manager button.

The operating system displays your PC Card’s Properties window,
which contains information about your PC Card configuration and
status.

The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert a PC

Card.

Remove the PC Card. If removing the PC Card does not resolve the
problem, try restarting the computer. If the computer still does not work,
contact the PC Card’s manufacturer.
