PC Card slot unusable after ejecting device

I use my TiBook's PC Card slot for a Linksys wireless G card, and a SanDisk compact flash card reader. For the past few days, OS X only recognizes the device that is in place when the system is started (cold start or restart). When I eject the device and swap in the other one, or even put the initial device back in, it is not usable. The PC Card menu icon appears, and clicking on it shows that the device is being properly identified (Broadcom 802.11 or SanDisk blah blah depending on the device) but OS X won't let me use it. In the case of the wireless card, Internet Connect says "no airport hardware detected". In the case of the compact flash card, it doesn't mount or show up in Disk Utility.
Any advice?

Hi All,

Now, when I connect the card on PC Card slot, nothing happen. I tryed a Encore Ethernet Adapter and had the same status. In logs (system.log, or others in /var/log) nothing about, no errors, no warnings, no info, PC Card Slot is completly dead.
I tryed reinstall Tiger and Panther in other partition, because this card used work in those version, but, now CardBus doesn´t work anymore.
I tryed this card in another Powerbook G4 Aluminium running 10.4.11, and it works fine and system.log shows when it are connect or disconnect.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Welcome to the Apple Boards:
Two things:
First, click on the little apple logo, top left whilst holding down the Option key and select System Profiler.
Check the POST diagnostic and also the other hardware. See if anything shows up
Secondly, zap our PRAM and see if that helps.

Microdrive unusable after ejection

Hi everybody,
I've a problem with the Hitachi 4Gb Microdrive I use to transfer my images to the MBP via a USB Memory Corp Multi Card Reader unit. To day, after the images were transferred, I removed the microdrive as usual moving its icon into the trash bin before phisically pulling it out the card reader, but it is now unrecognizable, unreadable and worst: unformattable by the Canon Eos 5D, and recognized as a unreadable external device by the MBP, once reconnected. Anybody has some suggestion on how this happened and - better- how to restore or format the Microdrive, to make it useful again?
Thank you very much for any help you may provide
LeopoldoB

Sorry to learn of your problem. Here's one last suggestion, if you haven't already tried this: pop the microdrive into a PC laptop and reformat the drive under Windows OS.
1. Using a card reader or PC Card adapter, pop the drive into a Windows PC.
2. If the software isn't there already for the reader, then allow it to install the software (something I'm glad I don't have to worry about in Macs).
3. Once the software's installed (if any) double-click "My Computer" and look for an "E:drive" - that should be the card reader/microdrive.
4. right click on the E: drive and a menu appears. Look for "Format..."
5. click Format and just do a quick erase. That should do it.
Doing this should restore your ability to see the drive once again in your camera as well as your computers, provided the microdrive isn't suffering from some physical-type damage.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Card slot does not work after update (14/10/2011)

Card slot does not work after yesterday update (14/10/2011)! It works with my SD card month ago, but now it dosn't!!!
MacBook Pro 13 OS ver. 10.6.8

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

After official upgrade to 10.2.1 get message that media card is encrypted on another device

Please help !
I got a message a few hours ago that there is an update available to my Z10 STL100-1, running on Orange.
I never did a leaked update always waited to get the notification for the official ones.
I have always had my media card (micros sd) encrypted from the beginning and ran through at least 2-3 updates untill now.
After todays update to 10.2.1.537 was finished and rebooted, I got the message that my media card was encrypted in another device and in order to use it I have to go to settings and wipe/format it.
I tried copying the files to PC but they will not open.
Please help, I have some very important photos and files on that card that I need to get back.
How could they do this to me ?

It's not personal.
Did you do a backup before doing the update?

You can try out this process and see if it helps:
Troubleshooting Audio Problems with External Speakers, Headphones, and HDMI Sound Devices
I assume that you probably already have seen this, but for your convenience, here is the support page for your notebook: HP 15-r029wm Notebook PC Drivers
The newest audio driver I could find there for your notebook has these parameters:
Released: 2014-02-21
Version 6.0.1.7156
Realtek High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver
The version number matches the one you gave but the date is different.
You can always try the Realtek site, for their drivers, however, they are not going to be customized to match the components in your notebook, but you could try and then go back if it does not help.

Razr HD SD card not mounting after update to JB 4.1.2

My Razr HD which i just got in March no longer recognizes the SD card installed. I have tried removing and reinserting and when the phone boots it sees the disk for all of about 2 minutes then it gives error stating that the card was removed or unmounted. Even though it wasn't. I didnt have a problem with it until the 4.1.2 Update was pushed to my phone. Anyone else having the same issue and is there a fix out there?

Lets get your device to recognize your SD card Stephen-H! Try the steps below and test out.
1) Insert the SIM removal tool into the hole to unlock the SIM card tray, then slide the SIM card tray out of the device.
2) Insert the microSD memory card into the left card slot with the gold contacts facing down. Gently push until it clicks.
Tip: Use the SIM Tray removal tool to push the SD Card all the way into the slot, and to eject the SD Card when you need to remove it.
Note: If your SD Card doesn't click in, position the Card Insertion/Removal Tool on the edge of the card, and gently push until it clicks.
Please keep us posted if the issue persists.
Thank you,

Xperia Z2 SD Card Slot is Broken, help please

Dear support teams.
My Xperia Z2's sd card slot is broken. All of a sudden, the microsd flap was opened by itself, and the sd card popped out. Then everytime I try to insert the sd card, the slot ejects the sd card by itself.
What should I do? I don't want to bring my phone to the service center because it is notoriously bad in my country
Reply as fast as you can

Sorry to hear this but all you can do is either return your device to the place of purchase or contact Xperia care http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/

USB ports and memory card slots not working

My Pavilion a6120n desktop has worked brilliantly ever since I purchased it. As of last week the 2 usb ports in the front and the 2 unused usb ports in the back have stopped working. My printer is plugged into one rear port and my wireless mouse is plugged into a second rear port and these work fine. I generally use a memory stick for data swapping or the card reader slots (which have also stopped working). I no longer see the memory card icons in the "Computer" window. When installing something new the "New Hardware Found" statement pops up but the driver install always fails. I think it is a software issue but there are no usb drivers to download on the HP/support site that I can find. . . so . . . Below is what I have tried so far.Run antivirus software. Full scan & memory scan - no issuesRun malewarebytes full scan - no issues I have tried restarting several times with no success. Restore to several previous restore points = failedRestarting computer in repair mode = failedRun the repair disk that I had made = failedChecked the power management for each usb port to see if the power was routed properly = okRemoved the case cover and carefully inspected the wiring and connectors.finally I tried uninstalling the usb drivers = failed Upon restarting the computer the last time the startup file must have failed and after several hours of attempting a repair I had to reinstall the Window 7 completely. Still no usb or memory card function. Any help would be appreciated Thanks,MrBob38

Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

Sir,
I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
Working very well.
Recently, my memory card stopped working.
I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5.
Then also i am getting the same error message........
Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
Thanks in ADVANCE.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked.

SIM card not recognised after upgrade to latest IOS apple staff helped reboot lost very treasured photos then backed up compt before trying to find them so say have overwritten back up so now lost forever Is this true Sim blamed on hardware ? True

I have a DM*******FJ3 iPad
I put a SIM card in it and it worked beautifully
I went away the sim does not work abroad and updated the management programme while away
When I came back the sim wouldn't work and when rebooted after update an error message no SIM appeared and it has been there since
I booked an Apple review at the shop in lakeside they were unable to find a fault said it was a hardware problem and I would need to buy a new iPad
I then phoned apple apple help who talked me through a reset
At the reset a lot of photos of the birth of my granddaughter went missing the albums they were in was missing
I then booked an appointment at Genius Bar in covent garden
They backed up the computer on arrival
Their conclusion was the photos lost forever as the back up had overwritten the backed up photos that hasn't downloaded properly when reinstating backup
The pins in the iPad drawer for the sim are broken and I need a new iPad
Apart from being furious that despite apple knowing the problem was about lost photos they have by their actions lost them
The sim stopped working without the drawer being opened
The only people to open the drawer since it stopped working are apples employees so if pins are broken apple has broken them and still haven't identified the more likey software problem that stopped the sim working as it happened afte an update
It is impossible to visualise the pins in the SIM card slot I have tried with an ophthalmoscope and can't see them so how an Apple employee can see with his naked eye is beyond me
This seems to be a problem with this iPad as the net is littered with problems regarding this fault so I'm sure Apple know about it
My friend with a company use of these iPads has had several develop this problem and they have been replaced as staff have admitted to him it is a known fault
Wy should so done have one level of truth compared to another
Staff should not lie just to get someone out of a shop if they really don't know the answer
I feel I have highlighted several staff training issues and would like some reassurance that action is being taken about this don't seem to be able to find a way to complain to Apple Anyone know how?
There is an obvious problem with the SIM card comparability in this iPad I believe a software problem and would to know if it is actually being addressed and when a new update comes out will it ever work again or do I really have a useless piece of equipment now?
Are my photos really lost as staff have been useless at everything else I can't help but hope they don't know a retrieval route for this either
Any help very grateful
<Edited By Host>

Actually, I'm sorry. I just re-read your post and you were certainly clear. I somehow got it in my head you set up the new phone from iCloud backup.
Since you've had the phone one week (I hope I got that right at least?) you are entitled to technical support directly with Apple. I'd either call them (1-800-MY-APPLE) or schedule a meeting at the Genius Bar at your Apple Store. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

I can not open the microsim card slot and my ipad is brand new!

When i try to opne the microsim card slot to introduce the sim card nothing happpens. Can somebody tell where and how I introduce the microsim card in my ipad?

The trick is pushing the SIM eject tool in a 45 degree angle as was also the case with the iPad 2, as opposed to the iPad 1 (and all iPhones). Pushing it in a 90 degree angle won't open the tray, unlike in the listed models.

HP 6910p laptop with Matshita ujda775 dvd drive and SIM Card slot

Hello everyone ,
I have an HP Compaq 6910p with Windows 7 ultimate 32bit installed, the laptop has Matshita ujda775 DVD Drive,
After a search about its specifications I found on ehow - Matshita UJDA775 Specifications that it can write to CDs but when I try it says "Blank CD/DVD not detected " .
how can I do it, If it is true that it can write to CDs?
Another question is how to use the SIM card slot in my laptop to connect to the internet?
Thank you.

Yes it should burn CDs. Try the fix linked in this prior thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-e-g-Windows-8/Optical-Drive-Will-Not-Burn/m-p/2795995...
The SIM card slot takes a WAN card that must be registered on a network like Verizon or Sprint and will give you access like a smartphone. There is a monthly charge involved.

Broken SIM card slot tray holder - N97 mini

I've got my N97 mini since several years ago, and now I meet a problem. I was trying to put my micro-sim with a adapter in it to check if it works, but unfortunately, when I was pulling it out, it got stuck. Then I used a little bit force. However, after it successfully came out, I suddenly found that the SIM card slot tray holder bended and was a total mess.
Have anyone else experienced like this? How and where to repair it in VIC? And how much does it cost?
Thanks for all the guys who answer me! ^ ^

hi mate,
Oh no. Did the same thing with my N8 a few years back and had to have it replaced at a Nokia Care point. I really feel for you buddy as it is quite catastrophic and can damage the phone. Your best bet is to actually follow the Nokia Care procedures on the Nokia Australia website. All the Nokia Care points across Australia have closed down (here in Perth, and one I saw in Melbourne on that main street near the main railway station, Flinders is it called, that one is closed down too). Therefore the procedure is that you have to send it off to Rydlemere in NSW where they will assess whether they can repair then mail it back to you.
