Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

Satellite A205-SP5818
I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
Thanks.

Hi
Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
Then reboot the unit.
After that windows will ask you for an driver.
You can download this driver:
[SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
This should helps to get the SD card reader working again

CD/DVD Reader Stopped Working After Yosemite Upgrade

My partner and I both have Mac Mini's (late 2012) versions. They came loaded with Mavericks. He recently upgraded to Yosemite and I did not. I have heard there are "Wi-Fi" issues and "don't want to fix something that ain't broke"!! He connects directly to our ATC, so he doesn't need to be concerned about those issues, however; he came home from getting an Xray yesterday and wanted to copy the CD they gave him. He's never done that before, so I said: "Sure, give me a blank and I'll burn a copy for you. Loaded up the Xray CD on his Mac and it started to read then just quit. The drive did not show up in the sidebar of Finder, like it does in Mavericks.....OK, so let me take the disc into my office and see if I can read. No problems, the disc loaded right up. I copied the files into my "Burn Folder"; loaded up the blank and burned all the files to it; just like it's supposed to. This morning I thought maybe his drive might be bad. We both have the same external USB 3.0 CD/DVD burners. Brought the drive and his cable into my office, plugged it in and it took off working like it was supposed to. So that eliminates the drive and cable. Took it back into his office and plugged it into a "known" good port on his machine, same thing, no work and had to eject the disc with a paper clip in the eject hole. Although his machine seems to address the drive (it will start and spin the disc), nothing shows up in his sidebar or desktop. Help...What's the problem???

This might help. If you haven't done so yet, try installing Apple's SuperDrive Firmware Update 3.0, which is on Apple's support site at http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201953 to see if that resolves it. Although it's not specifically for that problem, the firmware update seems to be important for making external SuperDrives work in Yosemite, and it is one step I used to get my SuperDrive to work in a USB external case when plugged into my MacBook Pro.
Please let us know either way, whether the firmware update helps or not in your situation.

Card reader stopped working

My card reader (sd,ms,xd) quit working. It worked for two years with no problems and today it quit. I have an HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y desktop and Windows 7. When an SD card is plugged in, nothing. Autoplay is on and I am able to transfer pics manually from the card to the PC. Also, simultaneously, when I try and attach a pic to an email (gmail) only 5 library folders are displayed out of the 50+ folders in my My Pictures library. This seemed to happen about the same time as Google wanted me to use Drive; could there be a Google gremlin at work here? I'm not much of a computer guy so I need simple answers, please.

Hello larrydayton,
Your card reader stopped working correctly.
Since you’re having multiple problems at the same time, I’d suggest a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.

My camera connection kit stopped working after I upgraded to ios5

My camera connection kit stopped working after I upgraded to ios5. If I plug it in to my iphone I get a message saying it is not recognised, but when I plug it into the ipad it does nothing at all. I've tried resetting it, but that makes no difference.
I have an ipad 1 which I bought because it had lots of storage. I'm going on holiday soon, and I want to be able to upload my holiday photos to my ipad while I'm away.
Any suggestions?

Actually this sounds the same problem I have on my iPad2.
I use a cheap copy of the CCK which I got off eBay.
It worked great when fitted with a 16gb SD card, but since I upgraded to 5.01 it has stopped working.
Sorry, no solution at this point but it worked on 4.3.3 but not on 5.01.
I'll keep on looking, was considering a proper CCK thinking the cheapmversion may be drawing too much current, but it sounds like that might not work either.

SugarCRM stops working after Leopard upgrade

My local copy of SugarCRM CE 4.5.1 was working in Tiger before I upgraded to Leopard last week.
After the upgrade, SugarCRM complains with the following message:
=====
Warning: mysqli_connect() \[function.mysqli-connect\]: (HY000/2005): Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock' (1) in /Users/orest/Sites/ruby/ruby.sugarcrm_from-backup-20080813/include/database/Mys qliManager.php on line 419

Could not connect to server localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock as root.Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql.sock' (1)
=====
A copy of PHPMyAdmin has not had any problems during the transition from Tiger to Leopard, nor have local copies of WordPress and Drupal.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm new to the subtleties of Apache/PHP/MySQL on Leopard, so please be gentle.
Thanks.

Thanks for the swift response.
I'm familiar with the socket location issues with MySQL on Mac OS X. My local copies of WordPress and PHPMyAdmin both work with their configurations pointing to the socket at /tmp/mysql.sock. These installations were working, along with SugarCRM, before the Leopard upgrade. Only SugarCRM has stopped working after the upgrade.
Is there something I misunderstand about your pointer?

W540 - Fingerprint reader stops working after sleep

Once again the fingerprint reader stopped working.
When I run the Lenovo Solution Center (v2.7.003 rev 19975) all appears normal. When I go to [Security]>[Fingerprint] I get a <Status> that it is enabled.
However when I [launch] > Fingerprint Manager Pro (v8.01.35 x64) I get the device is not connected.
See the pictures.
This occurred after coming out of sleep, and warm boot or cold boot did not change anything. It's now been 3 days. I have no idea what the hardware is doing as there are no lights. I did not install any new software, aside from the normal AV updates (MS Security and Malwarebytes ONLY! each aware of the other).
Administrative event logs do not reveal anything.
Device manager has no warning, neither does it show the fingerprint reader.
Scanning does nothing,
Any workaround ??? Any one else with these symptoms. I can deal with software, and drivers, but I cannot deal with failure to have hardware switches, lights, and other missing workstation attributes.
re: Lenovo W540 20BG, 32gb, Win 7 x64, BIOS 2.17, Samsung 1tb EVO

It's an on / off issue. Partly software and hardware. I think it a USB / reader problem. Only occurs occasionally when going to sleep. I do use Zentimo, so that may cause a disconnect when sleeping or at the very least let me know that a disconnect occured. I just type my user PW, as the reader's surrounding surface is now glossy, Never had that problem with other high gloss chassis. Oddly the track pad is immaculate and not shiny!
Reader resumes - in most cases - after cold boot with power off for a while. If I do a warm boot, the reader remains innactive and disconnected.
So far the machine from a software side is tamed and works great, it the harware interface with the internals that is a POS.
If the machine works great, it's because of Intel, nVidia, Micron, etc. The user dialog to the hardware is missing when PROBLEMS (not issues) occur.
Thank you for your concern. Hopefully these issues will be resolved after my yearly update. Albeit, Win 10 concerns me <vbg>. I think MS Win 10 will go the Adobe route, with a yearly subscription after the free 1 year.

Satellite U300-130 - TosBtMng has stopped working after Nokia PC Suite installation

I've got the same problem too... with Toshiba Satellite U300-130.
Bluetooth had worked pretty well before I installed Nokia PC Suite for my mobile on my PC (the newest version 7.1.26.0 from website).
To be correct, at first I even managed to maintain a Bluetooth connection between PC and Nokia and ran syncronisation of contacts. I made several attempts but each time syncronisation run ended with message "PC coudn't get answer from your Nokia".
After rebooting, my PC went crazy and started issuing message "TosBtMng has stopped working" and it restarted every time I ask it to close.
Installation of new version of BT Stack (6.40) didn't fix this error.
Please help

Hi there
I answered an existing thread with the same problem, but no-one can help apparently.
Anyway,,, I can at least help you with getting rid of the looping setup. You need to rename the directory with the Toshiba bluetooth stack.
I also have Nokia syncing and it worked fine until recently. - I have to say I think the problem relates to a Windows auto upgrade.
How to solve this is a different matter. At this moment I have given up. The Toshiba bluetooth stack disabled.

Satellite A500 - Flash Cards don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

Hi,
I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E. Recently I did an upgrade from Vista to Win 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then did the upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade assistant.
I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to enable/disable features..
I have tried downloading the VAP and running it. I have also tried the Start->Toshiba->Utilities->Restart Flash Cards. Neither of these have worked even after a restart...
Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do next?
Thanks

Hi buddy,
If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value Added Package, you should also (re)install Flash Cards Support Utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is necessary to get them working.
You can download it on official Toshiba website:

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop - Memory Card Reader Stopped Working

Hello,
         I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC ... The memory card reader recently stopped working. I believe, maybe the firmware, and/or driver was deleted by one of my optimization softwares. I checked the "Device Manager" list and was unable to locate "any" memory card device.  All the USB plugs work fine. When I place an SD card in the memory card reader slot, the light comes on, but the computer does not recognize the card. The card does not show up in my "Computer" window with the other drives. I checked the card out on my other computer, and it worked fine.   I also have an HP laptop that I tested my SD cards on, and the cards worked fine on my laptop.
        I would appreciate any help, or suggestions, that any one might give.
                                                                                                                                                                     Thank You

Toshiba-Satellite Laptop Model C655-55225 stopped working after 90 days

I purchased a Toshiba - Satellite Laptop on 9/30/2011, it completely stopped working on 1/5/12. The laptop was not even used until 12/25/11, as it was a Christmas present for my husband. I called Customer Service at Best Buy because Toshiba Customer Service has been of no help, only to be told to call Toshiba. When I called Toshiba the first time they had us run some diagnostics on the laptop, which did not help at all. The computer will not even power up. Please keep in mind this laptop was gently used and well taken care of for the two weeks it was in use. There were no bumps, drops, virus or spills. I have spent a small fortune on products at Best Buy this holiday season and this is how they treat their customers? They offered no suggestions or help at all with a product they sold or offered to intercede with Toshiba. I can tell you with all certainty I will never buy another Toshiba product nor darken a BestBuy entryway. The customer service is equally awful with both companies.

Did they give you any other reason why they wouldn't send it out? It is a pretty common procedure to send it out under manufacturers warranty and I am surprised they would shoot you down. Did you talk to geeksquad or just customer service?

Pavilion dv7 fingerprint reader stops working after several hibernate/suspend cycles

After severl hibernate cycles, the fingerprint reader on my Pavilion dv7 latop stops working. The indicator LED no longer flashes (in either colour), and nothing happens when I scan my fingerprint. I'm forced to revert to password login.
This has been an issue since getting the laptop. Fingerprint scanning works fine at first after a reboot, but when I hibernate (or, for that matter, suspend) the laptop after using, I'm never sure whether the scanner is going to work when I restart it. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, and the only way that I've so far found to fix it is to reboot.
I've tried using installing the latest driver from HP's support site, although it seems to be dated May, 2011, and, interestingly, claims to fix a problem with not restarting after several hibernate cycles (hint: it doesn't). I've tried uninstalling and then re-installing the driver. Doesn't seem to make much difference.
Laptop is an HP Pavilion dv7-6166nr with Windows 7 64-bit Professional installed (although the problem was present with the factory-installed Windows 7 Home Premium).

Try downloading and running the HP Support Assistant if you have not already. It can search for updates for you specific to your notebook. Here is a link to the download: http://goo.gl/gvpTr

FIngerprint reader stopped working after windows automatic updates

Hi,
I recently purchased an Envy j109tx laptop.
From day one the finger print scanner was not working.
After updating hp simplepass it started to work.
Again today I installed some windows update. After that it stopped working.
The light in the fingerprint reader is not turning on.
Is there a fix for this?
Someone please help me.
Thanks in advance.

@naga5speed ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. First thing did you do the windows update due to your system having some issue?
If not then do a system restore back before the update.
It is probably some microsoft update that is conflicting with the driver.
It is good to keep your system up to date. But it is better to make sure before you run an update that you take a look as to why you are updating.
Do I need to fix an issue?
If i do not do the update will something stop working?
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
If this fails to work then you may have to back up your data and run a system recovery. The reason for this is what ever update you ran has made changes to system files or the registry that a restore will not fix.
