Problem with PCI Card Slot

Is there a way to try to test this thing's PCI Slot?
I have a Dazzle SmartMedia Card Adapter and it has stopped working. Nothing happens when inserted. I bought a 2nd card and trying to install it, the same thing. Nothing. So now, I'm trying to decide if its the card slot, the upgrade to 10.4.10 or Sophos Anti-Virus software.

Hi, Marty. Your card slot's connection to the logic board may have loosened; that happens sometimes with Titanium Powerbooks, especially those that are handled and transported often. Flexing of the PB's case and frame is the cause. If that's your problem, it's very easy to remedy.
Release your keyboard catches and gently tip the keyboard back over onto the wrist rests and trackpad, being careful not to jerk its ribbon cable. You needn't disconnect the cable. Beneath the normal positions of the X and D keys is a translucent plastic rectangular tab about 1" x 3/8". That tab is the card slot's connector to the logic board. Press down very firmly on it with two
fingertips. If you feel or hear it shift even the smallest amount, it was probably a little loose, and is now properly seated again. Put the keyboard back in position and test the card slot. Let us know how you fare.

Problems with PCI card on my Mac G5

I have been having random system wide freezeups on my G5 2.7 purchased as a refurb from Apple store.com back in late March. Other crazy symptoms are Logic Pro freezing, ie - application freezes, and various funky glitches while recording and then stopping playback. I have had the computer put through a battery of diagnostics at my local Apple store and all components, RAM (4.5GB), 3 hard drives (the Mac HD, the audio hard drive mounted internally and a Lacie firewire 800 drive for the Ivory samples), the computer itself, optical drive - all come up perfectly sound.
Using my Apple Care technicians instructed me to elliminate one by one my peripherals which include the Mackie Control Universal, Motu Micro Express Midi Interface, Ivory Grand Piano Software, my Korg Triton, and in the beginning my Echo Mia PCI card. Oh yeh and Logic Pro 7.2 was removed to see if that was the problem.
The only thing that caused the problems to stop was the removal of the Echo Mia card. Also tried changing it to a different slot to no avail. So the Echo tech support was contacted and even though they refused to believe that their card was the problem they took it back. So since the Mac 1/8 inch inputs and outputs are anything but professional filled with groundloops, beeping and hums I did a forum search on many differnet forums to find a card that would fit my needs inexpensively until I finally get the Apogee Ensemble that I'm waiting for. The same name came up for bringing audio into a Mac via the PCIX slot for a small sum of money - ESI Juli@. Many people said this was a quality unit with a good track record for being used on a G5. I have the most updated drivers from the ESI company. Darned if I'm not discovering the same freezeups and glitches with this card.
I have come to understand that these cards should work in my computer, hassle free. I have a G5 2.7 with supposedly 3 PCIX slots. What am I doing wrong here? Are there voltage issues here?

Turned out to be a corruption in some Logic preferences. I believe this was because of a bad chip of RAM I had. It took weeks to figure out why I was having glitches and system wide freezeups. One day the Apple Hardware tests came up perfect and then another day the "quick test" showed a RAM error.
I had to delete a file called "logic" and a loose file named "apple.logic.plist" (something like that). As a result of that I lost my templates and settings. Then I had to reset the startup assistant in Logic. I think a handy shortcut, although I am a newbie to Logic, is to formulate a song (file) and name it "Marks template number one", then save it as a template but don't erase the file. Then if you lose your templates like I did, because of the corrupted preferences, the song file still is in your hard drive and you'll just have to save it as the template again.

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!

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.
You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
Hope this helps.

845PE Max-L problem with pci cards

Got a weird issue with the 845PE Max-L and was wondering if anyone else has come across this. I work in the RMA dept of a nationwide computer wholesaler and recently we've come across atleast 4 of these boards with the same problem. under windows xp it will not detect any pci cards. tried various sticks of ram, video cards, network cards, modems, usb cards, hard drives, pretty much anything we can think of to check for incompatiblities. did the latest bios flash, installed the newest updates in windows xp, but still cant get these boards to detect any pci cards whatsoever. yes we tried different power supplies and yes we tested the pci cards in other systems to make sure none of it was defective, all passed with flying colors. now here's the kicker, under windows 2000 it DID detect the pci cards, however i was unable to successfully load any drivers to any of the devices. We've made a call to our MSI rep to find out if anyone else has run into this or are we just dealing with a bad batch. unfortunatly noone from MSI has contacted us back yet so i decided to try and post here to see if anyone else has come across this odd situation. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Weaksauce;
Two replies two separate motherboards. In reference to the 865 / 875 motherboards not recognizing PCI cards I think your link has something to offer. :biggthumbsup:I'm not going to go back and test it but the reason the PCI cards were not recognized may very well be that the old bios did not properly inspire the intel inf utility to install the correct drivers. The force method you suggest may well overcome that particular problem. I would still suggest that merely doing the BIOS upgrade first is the more elegant approach.
Regarding the usb problem with MS update, the inf chipset article would appear to have little to offer. The 845 MB uses the Intel 845 chipset which is ICH4 by the way. The updated inf utility was installed in as early in the process as possible.

Problems with sd card slot

I've only been using my SD slot for a week or so and it was working great. Today I inserted the card into the slot and it won't recognize it. I was being really careful and I made sure I ejected the card each time I used it. Is the slot shot or did something happen with the software? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Did you find a resolution to your problem?
I have a similar problem: Finder doesn't recognize my SD card in my reader. Yet, it is visible to Mail (Version 3.6 (936)) via the attachment listing. Which is the terrible work around I've been forced to use. I shut down to eject. I replaced the reader & it recognized it for a couple days, but out of the blue it choked again.

Problems with PC card slot

I've just bought Motorola wireless notebook adapter (WN825G) for my 1st generation PB but when I insert it into the PC slot, nothing happens -- the PB won't recognize it. Does anyone have any advice how I can find out why and fix it?

Unless you have information to the contrary, I am not aware of any MacOS driver support being available for the Motorola WN825G PC Card wireless adapter. Why did you choose to buy this particular card?
If you are going to buy a non-Apple wireless network adapter, check with this list:

or buy a known compatible card like one of these:

Any idea ?!

If the reason you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2 is because you can't find vxiinit, the good news is that you probably are initializing your PCI-MXI-2 automatically.
The functionality of vxiinit is now performed automatically by the driver when the system starts. This has actually been true for the last few versions starting several years ago. For a while, we continued to provide a version of vxiinit that didn't actually do anything, for compatibility with installations where legacy code required the existence of vxiinit; if you think something like that would still be useful, please describe your situation so we can consider it as a use case in future versions.
If you are seeing some other error saying that you can't initialize your PCI-MXI-2, please reply
to this answer with further details.

HT1476 my iPhone 4 will no longer charge. It is also not recognised in iTunes. There seems to be a problem with the connector slot. I've tried other cables and other computers/plugs but the connection is not being made. Any suggestions?

It seems to me that the connection port is faulty.

Problem with RSC card on sun fire v490

Hi all,
I have a little problem.
I got few v490 that were already used.
When I connect to the management port of the RSC card I get the prompt of the RSC password, somthing i don't have.
The OS doesn't get loaded and I can't do anything. ( if I had access to the OS I would have reseted the password)
So now, I got left with the only option i thought of.
1. Disconnect the RSC card,
2. This will force the output of the consol to go to the serial port(tty).
3. Jumpstart the machine (beacuse I don't even have the password for the machine)
4. connect the RSC card, and reset the password.
There is someone here that encountered this problem??
Maybe there is a jumper that can reset the RSC password. i don't know... every response will be great!
Thanks!!!
