Hello
I think on your notebook are missing some drivers.
The SM Bus Controller driver is in the chipset driver package. So try to install it and maybe it works.
The drivers you can find on the Toshiba website.
Have you installed it with a Microsoft disk? The Toshiba recovery disk creator contains all necessary drivers and tools that you need and so this would be maybe an option for you to reinstall the OS.

Satellite 5205-s503 sd card slot not working

Following advice given in similar posts, I downloaded the SD driver for my model from the Toshiba website. However, the card reader still does not work. There is no response from the machine when the card is inserted or removed. Can anyone suggest other actions that might restore operation?

Satellite L500D SD Card Slot not working

Hi! I recently upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 as recommended by Toshiba and found that the built-in SD/MMC Card Slot no longer works. When I put in a card, the screen goes black. Then I uninstalled the device and when I tried to reinstall it, Windows reported that it could not load the driver (Code 31). I have no luck locating a newer version of the driver and all Driver Scan products I've tried seem to think the driver is up-to-date.
Before I send the machine in for a service, could you please let me know what I should do first? I bought the machine in Australia (not sure whether it has any bearing). Thanks!

Hi
First of all you should check the device manager if the SD slot in installed properly.
If the yellow exclamation mark occurs in the device manger in the SD area so there is something wrong. Usually the driver is missing. In this case you have to install the SD host controller driver and SD memory card driver. These drivers you will find on the Toshiba website.
If the device was installed properly and the device manager doesnt show any exclamation marks so you have to use a supported and compatible SD card.
Please check you users manual for supported SD cards.

Sd card slot not working. HELP

hi I have had my macbook pro 13'3 for 5 months
just now I have tried to put my SD card in the SD slot and it goes in lopsided and doesn't read
do i take it to the genius bar or what?
also it is hard to fit in and it has had some more problems like a dead pixel which I haven't got fixed yet and it doesn't go to sleep properly (and i'm not an uncareful person it has never been droped or any thing.)
really need an answer on this guy's
Ben.

I purchased an iMac Friday July 27. I think I may have a solution that worked for me but requires a delicate touch and good eyesight. What the issue was the first time I insert a SD card it would read it no problem. Then when I ejected to insert another, it would not mount unluss I restarted the iMAc with the card inserted.
In searching the forums I found one user said it is a microswitch contact n the iMacs internal SD card that detects a card is present.
The remedy is to work this switch a bit. If you look inside the SD card slot on the side of the iMac, you will see a variety of contacts that engage the SD card's contacts. But on the very top in the back is a small metal contact that lines up with the 45 degree angled edge of the SD card.
So by using a tooth pick or another non-conductive piece, VERY GENTLY work this switch in and out. First couple times I did it, it would reset the switch, but card would remount again on the second try. But as I did it more it finally started working.
The other thing I did was shut down the computer, unplugged it from the wall for at least 15 seconds. plugged it back in and waited 5 more seconds.
Then on start up I reset the PRAM. By once you hit the power button, immediately hold option(alt)+command+P+R all at the same time. Keep them held down until you hear the second chime. Was told reseting the PRAM resets the hardware memory that sometimes can become corrupt. Can't say for sure this helped, but right out of the box I installed new RAM into my iMac. So it's possible something got screwed up in the process.
But I think massaging thecontact did the trick.
It's not hard, but be carefull to damage or overly bend the contact. Take it in if you feel uncomfortable doing this.

HP Pavilion dv2500 SD card slot not working

I got a dv2500 model HP Pavilion, and I've never used the SD card slot before, I always thought it was some other kind of slot and never really bothered to check out what it is. Recently I noticed that it is an SD card slot, but it isnt working. I think the reason why might be because a few months ago I installed windows 7 and had to replace many of my drivers.
I'm not quite sure what driver I need though, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

If you reinstalled Windows OS and the problem is still there, most likely this is hardware related failure. I guess the SD card slot is defective.
Unfortunatelly, the SD card reader soldered directly to the motherboard, as you can see on the following picture (lower right corner).
The only way to fix this problem is replacing the motherboard. Here's how to remove the motherboard.
But there is an alternative inexensive way.
There is an ExpressCard/54 Slot on the same side of the motherboard. You can buy an adapter ExpressCard/54 to SD or ExpressCard/34 to SD. The ExpressCard/34 is a narrow one but it's compatible with your ExpressCard/54 slot.
These adapters available on eBay or Amazon for about $20. Here's an example.

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

Satellite 2410-603 - SD card reader not working

My Berlkin SD card broke and i replaced it with a Netgear WG511 v2 which is also not working, now i am asking myself, is it the card that is broken or the card reader?
Any ideas would be great, thanks.

Hi,
would be useful to test the card in another machine or cardreader, to check if it is really working. Otherwise check
the system services if the cardreader service is properly activated and started and all drivers are properly installed.
Maybe a driver update is useful too. And to check if the cardreader works, just put a memorycard in there. If it works flawlessy,
you then know whats the point. :)

Why didn 't you ask the repair techs who examined your MBP?

SD card slot not working - Satellite 2410-601

Hi,
I've had my TOSHIBA Satellite 2410-601 laptop for nearly 3 years and have never needed to use the SD slot. Now however, I would like to use it, since I've got it.
When I insert an SD card, the "flashy light" works, but I don't see the drive in My Computer.
I've tried downloading the drivers off this website and following the instructions - but to no avail.
It has to be a driver or programme problem I think.
(help!)
Thanks

Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K ?

I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer installed PA3070U-1MPC wireless card running with Windows 2000
The wireless client manager finds the network of my wireless router and reports the signal is excellent and I see all green bars swhowing.
However I can't mske a connection, in 'connections' the wireless one says 'network cable is disconnected'
the router works ok with other laptops in my house.
I have latest version of Win2K also have downloaded and installed latest versions of client manager and WLAN card driver for win2k from toshiba website.
The 'toshiba support in Turkey' told me 'I need a different driver for Win2K for my wireless card cause the win2K driver on the toshiba website is not for 'this' wireless card'. I have waited for this for 3 weeks now and have been unable to reach the elusive UK Level 3 support who supposedly have this driver. I have seen on the internet the same wireless card is has been sold as a 'made by toshiba' accessory and it says it is compatible with Wim2K
What do I do next please ? Does this run at all with Win2K , is there 'another driver' and so on ?
Thanks

hello
please be more scpecific - what do you mean by 'disconnect the LAN' - I have nothing conneced there anyway ? do you mean 'disable' the LAN even though there is nothing plugged in ? can you please post the exact sequence of this so I can try ir too.
In the meantime my laptop has been to Toshiba for them to sort out at their highest level UK support base. I was hoping my troubles would be over - but no, read below what happened. They are basically saying my win2k is not in order but I had just installed and updated it so right now I haven't a clue what to do next.
START QUOTE of Toshiba Support response:
Sat Pro 4600
Serial No: 31474181G
Windows 2000 SP4 (customers build not recovery CD)
BIOS V1.80 not current therefore updated to V2.60
The notebooks wireless card is functional and has the correct driver installed, it also has the correct and latest version of the Wireless Client Manager. The wireless function appears to see the router but will not connect and obtain an IP address. Irrespective of the settings applied within Internet Explorer or the Wireless client manager you cannot obtain a connection. The customer did not have any Toshiba utilities installed such as, Power Saver, Common Modules, Chipset drivers, network device switch, I therefore installed these missing components and updated the BIOS to the most current revision. However despite this the unit will still not connect to the wireless.
I therefore removed the customers HDD and replaced his HDD with a Toshiba loan HDD with a fresh build that I had created. When using the machine with this build the wireless connected without issue and I was able to browse the internet etc. I placed the customers HDD into our machine and the problem with the wireless was replicated on our machine here, therefore the problem is not with the wireless card or any hardware aspect of the machine, the problem lies with the customer's build of Win 2000. I examined for anything obvious but could not find anything, therefore I'm sending this machine back to customer with the advice that his build needs addressing or he needs to reload Win 2000 his machine.
As you can see from the above comments, the machine performs as per specification with loan HDD and fresh build of Win 2000 installed, the problem is only present with you HDD and build in the machine. In addition to this I have replaced the missing screws on the base of the machine ensuring the machine is structure is maintained.

1 x B6 Screw

SD card slot not workin

I have an HP Touchsmart 15-r053cl running windows 8.1. Im having an issue with the built in SD Card reader. It was working fine when i got the laptop, but it stopped working some time ago and I have not been able to get it fixed. I've tried alost everything. I've uninstalled and reintalled the driver several times. Even tried different kinds of drivers and still no luck. the computer does not recognize when an sd card is inserted at all. it makes no sound. no messages pop up. Is as if i had not inserted anything. I've also tried different SD cards and still nothing. no response from the notebook whatsoever.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j053cl Notebook and your SD card slot not working correctly. Here is a link to help troubleshoot the Memory Card reader. The section you need to look at is SDHC card locks up or the SDHC card cannot be read. You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. When performing a System restore please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices as they can cause issues.I would also check into the device manager to see if there is anything in there that shows a complication. What is the manufacturer of the SD card as your does only 32GB for Secure Digital cards? Hope this helps you out. Thanks.

Flash Cards do not work on my Satellite L750

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Satellite L750 PSK1WA-03C00R and my flash cards do not work, the function keys work, but my flash cards do not.
This model does not come with the Flash Card Support Utility, it does however come with the Value Added Package.
I have uninstalled, CCleaned and reinstalled and repeated mulitple times, trying to get this to work properly. I have also restarted after each of these steps.
I can't figure the problem out and thought that I'd see what you guys' recommend before I resort to getting Toshiba's support services.
I also do not want to have to resort to a system restore, but, if I really have to and have no choice, I will when I can.
I hope someone may be able to help me and do look forward to what support you can offer me.
Thanks in advance.
-Chris.

Hello Pedro,
I have checked on thses settings and there is the option to allow the mouse to bring up the flash cards, this will bring up the flash cards if I would like to do that, I would however love to use the keys seeing as the mouse option seems to close any games I may have running and take me to desktop and this is not preferrable.
There is no "Reset Flash Cards" option, I have serched through many files and done many serches for this option and no luck, which is a shame.
Do you have any other suggestions? I would love to have this work.
The reason I did the reinstall was to get my brightness keys to work again. Sure, this fixed the problem, but now I have no flash cards. Any suggestions would make me a very, very happy man.
Thanks in advance.
-Chris

Satellite P750 - Wireless card is not working

PSAY3A-02q001. Laptop is about 20 months old. Turned it on this afternoon and the wireless is not working. Atheros AR9002WB-1NG. Cannot b switched on and off from the hardware switch. The switch beeps when pushed. Network troubleshooter indicates card is not turned on. Card is still detected in windows.
I am feeling that this indicates the card has failed. Any thoughts?
cheers Simon

Ok just to tidy this up
The Atheros OEM wireless lan and the bluetooth were both working.
They stopped but I could still see the card in device manager.
Thinking the card was faulty and wanting to upgrade to a better wireless card I purchased an Intel 6235. i had the same problem i.e. the card would not turn on. I reinstalled the Toshiba value added package which then returned functionality to the hotkeys to turn the wireless on and off.
Next problem i was unable to get the bluetooth on the intel card to work.
There is a long thread on this on the intel community forum with the bottom line being a lot of people can't get it to work on their laptops.
I removed the intel card and reinstalled the OEM atheros card which is now working except i can't get the bluetooth to function correctly.
The intel bluetooth software is virtually uninstallable.
This is also covered in the same community forum.
The next step will be reinstalling the OS (windows 7 x64). It has been running for 2 years so is probably due.
Learnings.
1> If your wireless card stops working in the P750 and you can't turn it on reinstall the Toshiba Value added package.
2> Don't install an Intel Centrino 6235 wireless card in your Satellite P750. The bluetooth will not work.
3> Don't install the Intel Proset bluetooth software on your Satellite P750. It wraps itself around everything and can't be uninstalled. Actually you can get it out manually

Do SD card readers not work with 10.3?

I have an old G4 Power mac, and my kids have iMac G5s. We all run 10.3.9, and have SD card readers, and none of them work at all. Does Apple acknowledge that SD cards do not work with Macs, and/or was this fixed in 10.4? We are looking to replace our computers, and this is a deal breaker.

Okay, I did a little more research, and here's what I have found.
(Yes, I'm talking about a USB card reader.)
On my ancient G4 Mac, the 2GB card never mounts. I can see it with Disk Utility, but Disk Utility usually offers to format it. When I do this, it attempts to format it as a 1GB card, and fails.
However, I found an old 16MB card, and it mounts every time.
My kids both have a reader and a 2GB card for their iMacs. They usually mount okay, but not always. Sometimes it takes a restart.
The 2GB cards are all a funky off-brand, "Adata." The 16MB card is a Canon.
Now I am wondering if it's the cheap cards, or the capacity of the cards. I remember reading at one time that some Macs don't want to see removable drives over 1GB. This may be the problem with my computer. I just ordered a 1GB PQI card, we'll see how that does when it arrives.
My mac has both USB 1.1 and 2.0 slots. Same results on either bus.
