Satellite 1900-803: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 card doesn't work

i have a satellite 1900-803 laptop. I recently bought and installed a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card but it doesn't work. the card's manual says that after successful installation i should see a second "universal serial bus controllers" heading which i didn't. i even had it replaced it with another one thinking that there might be some problems with the drivers, but it still doesn't work. everytime i plug in a device such as an mp3 player, a digital camera or a usb storage device, windows just suddenly locks itself up, the cursor won't move, the ctrl-alt-del function doesn't work, and the worst of all, i can't turn off the machine!
the card says that it runs on any 32-bit slot.
i've browsed the user's manual and the device manager to see if mine is a 32-bit one, but i can't really find it. is this probably the reason why it won't work? or is there any other reason for it not working? if this is the reason, is there a way where i can upgrade my laptop's pc card slot to make it work?
please help.
i've posted this question yesterday morning and haven't got a single reply. is it because it has got to do with an older laptop? please, anybody, help..........

Hi
Did you check the Bios? I assume the Toshiba Bios was preinstalled on your notebook. Am I right? There should be an option for changing the PC card controller mode.
There you can change the controller mode to auto-selected, PCIC compatible or Card bus/16-bit.
If the card supports 32 bit so you shouldnt use the 16bit option.
I think you should play a little bit with this option and possibly the card will work.

How do i get a USB Omnikey 3021 card reader to work?

I am trying to figure out how to make my USB Omnikey 3021 card reader work with my Macbook Pro. Please help.

You don't state the nature of your trouble but checking the vendor's web site I see there is a driver for 10.5 and 10.6 Mac OS but not one for 10.7. So perhaps you sneed to contact the vendor hidglobal.

MP3+ USB External Card doesn't work when plugged into USB

My MP3+ USB external sound card doenst' work whenever I plug it into my usb hub.
Model: sb0270
First I tried a powered D-link 7 port usb 2.0 hub. (model DUB-H7, H/W ver: 2) although the model number doens't tell you much is has the same model number as a USB/Firewire hub with 3/4 ports.
The sound card is recognized as a "composite" device. But no sound goes "through" it (light doesn't flash).
I'm now using a Belkin 7 port usb 2.0 hub, model f5u237 rev. 3.
When I plug the soundcard into my computer it stops the laptop speakers, and then my sound system starts playing. When I unplug it my sound system stops, and then my laptopspears start playing. When I plug it into the USB hub the sound on my laptop speakers stops, windows finds a USB composite device, then the sound starts playing on my laptop speakers again.
I've tried this on 2 computers a HP ZV600 and a HP dv5040us.
dv5040us specs: http://h0025.www.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=c00584686&lc=en&jump id=reg_R002_USEN
This is the only USB device I have that is not functioning correctly. (2 HDDs, keyboard, mouse, printer, mp3 player, controller, and joystick)
Even if those arn't plugged it it still doens't work.

I tried with another USB flash card and with a smaller file.
The transferring from Mac to the card starts but is extremely slow ( around 0,5MB/sec)

SD card doesn't work after XP SP3 install on Satellite P10

I have a Satellite P10, which has a built in SD card reader. I got Windows XP SP3 from Microsoft update a few days ago, and suddenly the card reader couldn't see any SD card larger than 128MB. It was listed in device manager with a exclamation mark by it - and didn't show up as a removable drive in My Computer. Error message was "Device cannot start - Error Code 10"
I uninstalled SP3 , and it works again. I've tracked it down to this hotfix which is included in SP3:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934428/
If I install this on it's own I get the same symptoms, and uninstalling it cures it again.
So for the time being I can't install SP3. Does anybody know if it's possible to remove a single hotfix from a service pack?
thanks
Doug.

With a little help from MS support I've fixed this issue. In this hopes that it helps someone else, this is what I did.
1. Uninstall SP3, and reboot into SP2.
2. Copy the following files from c:\windows\system32\drivers to somewhere safe: sdbus.sys, sffdisk.sys, sffp_sd.sys. I put them on my desktop. They should all be version 6.0.4061.1
3. Install SP3, and reboot.
4. Shutdown, and restart using F8 to go into Safe Mode.
5. Log in as Administrator (or another account with admin rights)
6. In C:\windows\system32\drivers rename each of sdbus.sys, sffdisk.sys and sffp_sd.sys.to have a .old extension.
7. Copy the files you saved in step 2 to c:\windows\systems32\drivers
8. Shutdown and restart normally.
And that's it. Hope that helps.

Doug.

Satellite P100-429 - New WLAN card doesn't work

Hi,
I've just upgraded my home network to draft 'N' standard and thought I'd upgrade my WiFi card on my P100-429 Laptop;
Laptop is running Vista Home Premium, and has the latest BIOS and Drivers installed.
Laptop currently has an Intel 3945ABG card fitted, which works fine. I purchased an Intel 4965AGN Card but when I fit it, the computer powers up, but wont load (lights on, fan on - nothing else)
O.K. - So I read up on a few forums, could be a bad card, so I bought a Toshiba branded 4965AGN card - P/N G86C0002P710
Still have the same problem - the computer refuses to start up. Intel tech support say the card should work?
Obviously a compatability issue - is there anything I can do about it?
Or does anybody know what type of card I should use?
Thanks for your help!

Im not a Satellite P100 owner but is your notebook equipped with 3 or only 2 antennas?
If your notebook does only have 2 antennas you cant upgrade it to draft N because this WiFi standard needs 3 antennas.
I think your notebook does only have 2 antennas so this would be the reason why both cards are not compatible to your notebook.

USB flash card doesn't work

Hi,
I' ve just bought a new Transcend 16GB USB flash card. It works properly when I move files from it to my Macbook Air running Lion.
When I try to move files from the Mac to the flash card, the copy doesn't start and the system stays blocked in "calculating remaining time".
I tried to format it with FAT32 and HFS but nothing changes.
On Windows7 (installed as well on the Mac) the USB flash card works perfectly in both ways.
Can u help me?
Thanks
Marco

I tried with another USB flash card and with a smaller file.
The transferring from Mac to the card starts but is extremely slow ( around 0,5MB/sec)

Memory upgrade on Satellite 1900-803

How do you get keyboard off this model to upgrade memory?

Hi
The memory slots you will find at the bottom of the unit!
Under the keyboard you will find a place for the WLan card!
But your question was How to remove keyboard.
Well, before placing here an description how to do it I must say that everything what you do is on you own risk!
Be careful buddy!!!
So if you wan to remove the keyboard you should
1. Depress the right-hand key on the back row of your keyboard and insert a thin tool
into the narrow hole that is revealed in the keyboard brace latch below the keyboard brace.
2. Use the tool to slide the keyboard brace latch to the right. The keyboard brace will pop up allowing you to lift it out.
3. Remove two silver screws securing the keyboard and lift the keyboard out and turn it face down on the palm rest.
Be careful not to apply pressure to the keyboard cable
4. Disconnect the keyboard cable from the system board and remove the keyboard.
Thats all.

BIOS upgrade on Satellite 1900-803

I have just tried to upgrade my bios on recommendation from Microsoft due to reported serious processor/bios conflicts.
The downloaded flash bios routine appeared to be working well from the floppy disk for about two minutes then suddenly the whole laptop shutdown without warning. The machine was rebooted but only with a blank screen and no further booting either from floppy or hard drives.
The front panel LED display shows the infrared icon in solid red without any flashing (this has no references in the instruction booklet).
I have tried several key sequences on re-boot from information obtained via google searches on the internet. None of these appear to make any differences. The recovery CD supplied with the machine does not work either on re-boot when used with the recommended C key plus on/off switch.
I was considering trying to reset the password using one of these parallel port fixers described on the net?
Any other ideas on a way forward?
I guess Toshiba offers no guarantees with their bios routines even though I have lost a considerable amount of important data?
Regards,
James

Hi
You are right. The warranty should no cover this misfortune.
It seems the notebook does not boot because you have updated the BIOS with the wrong version or with the wrong update procedure.
Mostly its not easy to estimate what could be wrong.
Maybe you are a lucky man and the BIOS chip must be only flashed again using a special procedure.
In the worst case the board is dead and you will need new one
Seems you will have to contact the service technicians in your country.
Ask the guys for further handling and details good luck

Usb to Ethernet adapter doesn't work? AX88772B

I don't know how to make a connection with Internet with RJ-45 cable with the usb adapter.
I have MBA. Lion 10.7.5
Now I need to connect MBA by RJ-45 cable with usb adapter (asus AX88772B)
MBA see the adapter (even without an ethernet cable).
I also did download drivers from here http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101&PLine=71
I read the instruction, and I've done 3 steps on the page 4 exept these one's:
(4) Set the permission access mode of Apple’s default driver.
(5) Update the access and modification times of ASIX’s AX88772B/772A/760/772 or AX88178 driver.
But i don't know how to do this.
In the system report is always written this:

But still I can't make an Usb to Ethernet connection in system preferenes, nothing written about it there.

Satellite 2410-413: USB2 PCMCIA card doesn't work

Good morning. It is my first time on a forum, and my English is poor.
I have tried to install a PCMCIA card with 4 USB-2 ports (hw & sw) on my Satellite 2410-413 in order to use a DTV dongle (hw & sw).
It will not work: The ports seem to be declared all right in the computer but in effect, a simple 64 MB USB-2 memory key [a Sony "micro-vault" key), will not work, and neither will the Winfast DTV dongle.
Paradoxically, both the mem key will work on any of the three USB-1 ports, and the DV dongle will light up on any USB-1 port. The PCMCIA card with 4 USB-2 ports is new. I cannot locate the origin of the problem.
Would any one help me with this question?
Thank you in aadvance for your reply. Here is (maybe ?)
Another way of formulating the question: how are USB ports managed by the system?

Many thanks to you Mike30.
I have a couple of ideas now:
- supplying the USB2 card with additional power (ie other power than computer), (but how?)
- uninstalling and further, re-installing the USB2 "Truewin" PCMCIA card bus, and after that trying the "leadtek-brand" DTV sw.
Cheers,
Philippe

K7N2 Delta-ILSR - USB to Serial Adapter Doesn't Work!

Is anyone aware of an error such as the follows with the K7N2 Delta-ILSR?
I am trying the use a USB to Serial Adapter, namely the a Prolific PL-2303.
However, my PC does not seem to like it, nor does it what to cooperate with it at all.
On one occasion i have managed to get the device to show in the Manager window with the exclamation mark,
and upon checking its properties it told me: Prolific This device cannot start. (Code 10).
I have un-installed all my system USB drivers and the device drivers, and reinstalled them, but again, no matter what i do i cannot get it to work.
Any ideas peeps?
Cheers, G.

Don't think it will this time, but on occassions booting into SafeMode and removing possibly half-installed copies of USB devices from Device Manager has helped.
Is this what you are looking for, Henry?
http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=33
"Note: Please take notice of the installation order. First, run the InstallShield wizard,
and then plug in the USB to Serial adapter"
...How many times have I said that, if a USB device needs a driver you install that before attaching the device!?

Lenovo Slim USB Portable DVD burner doesn't work

This burner works fine on all my colleagues lenovo thinkpads but won't work on my Yoga. Very frustrating! Any suggestions

Hello,
Is the external DVD drive plugged into two USB ports on the computer? One USB port may not provide enough current to power the drive.
