3.3V CardBus Card does not fit into T500?

I got a new T500 2055WVJ last week with Win 7 64bit.
I have only one problem. The cardbus slot (it must be one, because the device manager says RICOH compatible CardBus controller) does not like my Adaptec SCSI CardBus card (Type II). Other PCMCIA cards (5V, non Cardbus) in the same slot fit in perfectly, but the 3.3V SCSI card goes in but stops about 5 mm before they is completely in. The same card works in all other laptops including my old T60, where is slides in and is recognized perfectly. Also CompactFlash cards inside an PCMCIA adaptor fit in perfectly on my new T500 and appear as ATA devices.
Looking into the slot with a lamp shows that on the left side, the notch for differentiating between 5V and 3.3V cards only allows 5V cards. But the CardBus spec says, that Cardbus cards must be 3.3V. You can see a picture of the difference between cardbus and pcmcia pccards here: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DateiCCard_CardBus.jpg&filetimestamp=20061112220451 (you see the different notch on the right side).
So whats wrong here? Does the new Thinkpad really does not like 3.3V CardBus cards, although the controller is CardBus?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Congrats on getting it to work!
Thinking back, I remember how reluctant I was to force a card into my new T500. I do think there is something slightly off about the slot, because the same card had been working fine in my old T42. (Or maybe the T42 was similarly stiff when it was new way back when?)
Anyway, congrats again!

  • Airport Extreme Card does not fit into my laptop.

    I recently purchased an Apple iBook G4 and a separate Airport Extreme Card. Maybe I'm just Mac-illiterate, but I can't figure out how to install the card. I've studied the directions in the manual and online but the diagrams don't seem to correspond with my laptop. For example, my laptop does not have the grey wire or metal bracket that are shown in Figure 6 at http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/ibkg4/ibg4-apc-cip1.pdf. In fact, that whole area in my laptop looks very different from the way it looks in the image. The card doesn't fit/snap in anywhere under the keyboard.
    Am I totally missing something? Is the card supposed to be installed elsewhere? Did I perhaps purchase the wrong card?
    Any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully my question isn't too stupid!

    Current generation iBook G4's have a built in Airport Extreme interface - they don't make use of a user-installable Airport Extreme card.
    Does your Mac have an Airport menu item (the fan-shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, it already has an installed Airport interface.

  • I recently bought a Macbook Air and a Thunderbolt Display and the laptop's power is supposed to come from the display, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

    I recently bought a 11" Macbook Air and a 27" Thunderbolt Display.The laptop's power is supposed to come from the display when connected, but the power cable on the display does not fit into the Macbook Air.

    If your MBair is a 2012 model, it has a Magsafe 2 power connection.  The monitor probably has the old magsafe connection.  If this is the case, you need this adapter.

  • Error:   Table TEMPLATE_HEADER does not fit into window.

    Hello Experts ,
    I met a very strange problem.
    I am printing a process order using smartform.
    for other process nrs , print perfect.
    But only for a certain precess nr, I got a popup error 'Table TEMPLATE_HEADER does not fit into window.'
    At beginning , I suppose my table line extend the mainwindow width. But infact , no!
    I try to comment every node one by one, I found the reason: I put a table line into a loop node, if I add a text node which has something inside, it will triger this error. (only for this process order, others works fine)
    so , does someone met this error before ?
    Please help me!!
    Regards

    Hi Kevin,
    Which printer and device type do you use? For line printers and device type(driver STN2) like e.g. EPESCP9, the SAP system
    must use spaces and empty lines to place the text. This is a limitation of the ESC/P printer languagesa per SAP note #19807.
    For this, the Smartforms rounds all coordinates(of the table cells and the window). Only after this step it checks, whether the table fits into the window. So if the table size is quite close to the window size size, it may happen on line printers that the table doesn't fit anymore.
    If this is the reason for your problem, the error message should vanish if you increase the size of the window containing table TEMPLATE_HEADER a little in your smartform.
    Regards,
    Aidan

  • Getting "Table %TEMPLATE does not fit into window" error

    Hello,
    I am trying to print a form to an old EPSON DFX-9000 dot matrix printer and am getting the error message Table %TEMPLATE does not fit into window".
    This only happens when I go to that printer.  I can print fine to a laser printer.
    I have tried creating a new device type and copying over the format from the laser printer, playing with the format, changing formats, ect.
    I have adjusted the size of the window that my template cannot allegedly fit into but still no luck.  I have checked the height and width of the template and the window many, many times and still get the same error.
    Has anyone seen this before?  Please help.   Thanks.

    Hi James,
    You need to see the width and height of the Page Format which you have set in Form Attributes of your smartforms.
    What ever you create should be within this width and height .
    So accordingly adjust the width and height of your windows and components within them

  • Good afternoon. Today I stopped to make a purchase in the App Store. wrote that the card does not fit, I live in Ukraine. Tell me what I should do.

    Good afternoon. Today I stopped to make a purchase in the App Store. wrote that the card does not fit, I live in Ukraine. Tell me what I should do.

    I've never seen such an error before. I think you're using the serial number instead of the redemption code?
    There should be a scratch off code on the back.

  • My airport card does NOT fit!

    I've been searching and searching for my answer in the forums, so my apologies if the answer is already out there...
    Problem:
    I have a PowerMac G4 (firewire 800 - Mirrored Driver Doors).
    I just bought an Original Airport Card that had said IN THE DESCRIPTION that the card would fit my specific computer.
    However, when I received it, I found it does not fit!
    I've looked at the computer manual and have seen exactly where the airport card should slide into.
    BUT seems that the bracket that the card should slip into, is too small. I've now done search after search for which card that I REALLY do need, but all results say that this "original airport card" IS the one that I need. One result did say that I needed an adapter. But I dont see how an adapter would help me if the bracket is too small even for the card.
    I am baffled and extremely frustrated.
    Can someone be CLEAR about exactly what I need?
    -MandyZ

    If it has a FW800 port on the back, it will use Airport Extreme
    If it does not have a FW800 port (i.e., FW400 only), it will use regular Airport. When the original Airport cards were made and speced, the FW800 MDD G4 models had not yet been produced.

    I got me a new Ipod touch 4rd gen. Now it doesn't fit into my Bose system? Also not in my daugters Sony?
    Cable fits and it charges.

    If the docks use the universal dock system then you need to purchase these:

  • I have bought an Iphone 4 16g but the Tmobile Sim card which fitted my IPhone 3 does not fit into the IPhone 4

    If anyone has any advice or information I would be very grateful. It appears that the Sim "holder" is too small for my Sim card used in the IPhone 3.

    You should get a new micro-SIM from T-Mobile. It is possible to cut down a standard SIM, but often that leads to erratic behavior or destruction of the SIM.

  • Lightening to 30 pin adaptor does not fit into 5s when in the apple case

    Any ideas how to plug an old 30 pin car cable into the 5s whilst in the apple case, don't want to have to give mini £50 for new one when I,be already spent £25 on an adaptor?

    That isn't really an adequate answer is it Peter. It's ridiculous that Apple couldn't make an adapter that fits their own OFFICIAL case. Lets refer to your previous post on something similar shall we: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20076166#20076166 - maybe Apple should look at what other case makers are doing and bothered to design the case to work in any iPhone5/S environment including the cut out to handle the wider base of the 30 pin adapter.
