N81-3 RM223 without sd card slot?

Hello,
my brother bought a Nokia N81 on ebay. Today, it arrived and ,while configurating it, we wanted to insert the micro sd (2Gb) that came with it. But there is no microSD-card slot at the side of the phone. I checked the internal memory to make sure it is not the 8Gb model, it is not the 8Gb model. We are wondering how this can be possible since the phone is new. Or did Nokia "just" put the wrong cover on it?
Please help.

this is indeed a genuine N81 with the microSD expandability, and not the N81 8GB (which is RM-179). i updated the firmware on a friend's N81 last year, so from the photos it is indeed genuine. the product code also seems to match up.
as far as i remember, there must be a microSD card slot on the left margin of the phone. i certainly know that the memory card is hot-swappable, however even if i was completely wrong and there was a microSD slot under the battery, that wouldn't be hot-swappable. so it looks like your phone is a 8GB version according to the pictures you've posted, as there is no microSD card slot on the left side. if it was the 8GB version, it would have 7600MB or so available in the free memory screen.
i'm even confused myself, so my best advice would be to take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre and ask them about it. it definitely seems that you have a microSD model that seems like it is, but doesn't have the microSD card slot. actually, i just saw and the microSD card slot should be underneath the speaker on the left side of the phone. possibly someone ripped you off and ripped the 8gb memory out, slapped some stickers on to show its a 2gb model. that's all i can think of, no matter how absurd that sounds.
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

    The Verizon iPhone 4 is a CDMA only phone. It is not physically possible to use it on a GSM network. It doesn't have the right parts. Also, we can't discuss jailbreaking here.

  • E63 SD card slot

    Hi all,
    I bought an E63 at the end of May.
    During the first month all was going fine, but now I've been having problems with the SD card slot for 1 month.
    Every 2 days what I have in my external card disappears and I have to download my data again. I've lost pictures and other nice things I had.
    1) Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    2) Is it possible that the card slot tend to lose the wire contact to the card every now and then?
    3) In case 2) is true, does it makes sense that E63 resets and formats the SD Card when it happens? I mean:
          when the SD card gets lost for a while due to a bad electrical contact and then goes back to life when the contact is restored, does it makes sense that E63 re-formats the SD card? That seems what's happening to me every 2 days lately.
    4) In case there's no electrical issue involved, is it possible that some virus or bug is doing that?
    thank you, Paolo

    Format your card in the E63, not on your pc. When you remove the card, use the proper dialog. Dont just pull it out.
    If this problem continues, you have a hardware problem and go back to the shop.
    First of all thanks for answering.
    As for the SD formatting I've noticed that when I found the telephone had removed my files it also had re-formatted the SD card. At least there were no more files inside the SD folders and the folders were the usual ones of E63.
    As for the SD card removing procedure, is there any step I've to take before removing the card? I haven't found any hint of it.
    In any case I'm afraid I have some hardware problem: these morning the only 3 personal files (audio files) I had in my sd card were suddenly removed without any reason.
    Before of that I had tried to copy one of those audio file from the SD card to the phone memory and at the end the phone-memory copy was not working (I played it and it kept repeating the same first 2 words).
    What I have to understand is: these fact the files are repeatedly removed from the SD can be blamed on to the SD card itself in case it's corrupted?
    I mean:the phone feels the SD card is corrupted and keeps trying to restore it by formatting it? Is it possible?
    Is it worth I buy another SD card and test the phone with the new one? Take into consideration I don't need another SD card and that my PC can easily read it.
    Or is it possible the card is good but the electrical contacts are not so that the phone can't read correctly the card, "thinks" it is corrupted and re-format it?
    thank you again

  • HP Pavilion DV7 1240us Express Card Slot Stopped Working

    My express card slot stopped working.
    The tech I was working with for the HP tuner card seems to think it is a driver or hardware issue.
    Please see the email string below.
    I tried all I know to get the slot to work, but I do not know which driver for it.
    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Below are the emails.
    Thanks, the problem is I do not know which driver it is.
    I looked through the entire device manager tree, and do not know which driver controls the express slot, can you send me in the right direction?
    I have an HP Pavilion DV& 1240us laptop.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

    Without inserting another device into the slot the only thing I can think of is checking device manager for the drivers for that express slot and see if they are installed or reinstall the drivers.
    If the device works on another laptop but continues to have problems on the first one then there must be something going on with the express slot on the first laptop.

    No I do not, have you had this type of issue before?
    Could it be missing or corrupt drivers?
    Is there a way to test the slot without a device, checking drivers etc..

    Yes it is connected directly, it does not even get recognized by device manager.
    No default beep when plugging and unplugging.
    IT USED TO WORK NO PROBLEM.
    It will work in another laptop.
    I am a tech by trade, so if I have to edit the registry, etc.. let me know.
    Right now I am baffled, what can I do.

    Hello,
    Are you making sure to connect the 1500 directly into the express slot in the laptop and into a usb converter?
    When it is plugged in does anything appear in device manager with a yellow mark next to it? Is it being listed under sound, video, game controllers at all?

    Hey there,
    Can you explain more on this issue? I see by the emails the Express card slot is not functioning. What you are using in the card slot? Is the the HP TV Tuner card? If so, do you have another express card handy so you could test to see if it was the card or the slot? If your missing the driver you will need to use the HP Recovery CD to reinstall the TV Tuner driver.

    It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

    My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

    If they can't extract the SIM without opening the iPad (which no service center is authorized to do), and you can't manage to get it out yourself, then you'll probably have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty replacement price and get the iPad replaced. Use of a cut-down SIM is not covered under warranty.

  • HDR CX380 card slot problem

    Purchased HDR CX380 Nov.29,2013. Returned for repair Nov.12,2014. Could not insert card in SD slot. This was on EVENT ID: E60644077. Now on June 30,2015, card will not click into place in slot. Have only used slot a maximum of 3 times since the repair. A $400.00 camera should not have these issues. We have 2 Sony TV's, DVD Player, and other equipment. I expect a company with the reputation of Sony to do something about this continuing SD card slot problem. IF NOT, I will be forced to find another camera without the Sony name on it. 

    Hi gregruthswanson,
    Pls ensure you are using the supported type and capacity of Memory Card media for use with the camera. Insert the Memory Card in a correct direction until it clicks. Push the center portion of the visible edge of the memory card (pls see this guide for instructions) .
    You can also try to use other memory cards just to make sure that the memory card you're currently using isn't damaged.
    If the issue is still unresolved, service may be required.

  • A faulty AirPort Express card slot

    Hey everyone,
    I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I've been having.
    I have a 15 inch powerbook G4 aluminum. I bought a airport extreme card about 8 months ago. it's been working perfectly fine until a few days ago. One day, I lost all connection to the internet, My MAC can't read the airport card anymore. So it thinks there is no airport at all. I tried taking out the airport extreme card and installing it back in, but my MAC still can't read the card. I double checked to make sure I put the card in correctly. But still nothing. Then later that day, i went to the apple store to see if it was my airport card. They tested the card on another MAC and it worked perfectly fine. They also checked to see if my software was a problem and that was fine. So I assume there is something wrong with the airport card slot itself??
    Is there any way to fix this without paying an arm and a leg to have the apple tech people fix it?? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    hngodesign, Welcome to the discussion area!
    It sounds like your PowerBook's motherboard has a defect in the area of the AirPort Extreme card connector. The only solution to that is to replace the motherboard.
    An alternative is to forget about the AirPort Extreme card and instead get a compatible wireless PCMCIA card for the PCMCIA slot on your PowerBook.

  • Hey i got a iphone 4 online and it doesnt have a sim card slot what do i do ??

    hey just wondering if my iphone is fake i brought it online and it has no simcard slot what do i do? could i send it in and get it looked at ??

    You need to return the phone and get a refund because you won't be able to use it without a sim card slot.
    Probably not a fake, because some US iPhones, depending on what comapny they were from and what model do not come with sim card slots, as they don't need them and if you are not planning on using the phone in the US, then you won't be able to use it without a sim card slot.
    The seller really should have made potential buyers aware of this, so I would return the phone for a full refund and then go and buy another iPhone form a reputable source, such as directly from an Apple store or a local phone comapny.
