SDHC card reader in Satellite A300-1MX?

Hi everyone,
i bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1MX back in October 2008, and now i wanted to buy an SDHC card, but I was wondering whether my laptop would support this "new"-ish card. The reason I want an SDHC is because it comes in bigger volumes.
So do you know if my laptop can read SDHC cards?
Thanks so much,
Sincerely,
Alex

The Satellite Satellite A300-1MX card reader supports these cards:
SD Card: 8MB-2GB
SDHC Card: 4GB-16GB
xD picture card: 16MB-2GB
Memory Stick: 8MB-256MB
Memory Stick Pro: 256MB-4GB
MultiMediaCard: 8MB-2GB
miniSD (with adapter): 32MB-2GB
microSD (with adapter): 512MB-4GB
Memory Stick Pro Duo(with adapter): 256MB-4GB
As you see the SDHC is supported

SDHC Card reader blocked?

Dear all,
I feel terribly stupid, but the following is the case:
Something seems to be blocking my SDHC card reader at the right front side of my X220. I cannot insert a SDHC card therefore. I know sometimes these readers contain a plastic dummy, which might be the case now as well, but if it is I'm not able to dislodge it without applying so much force I'm afraid i will damage something. Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks!
Jan

Lenovo doesnt ship dummy sd card in their X220 machines. There is spring ejection system for the card, if that malfunctions then what you describe can happen.

T430s SDHC card reader not working

Hi, I recently bought a T430s and when I tried to insert a SD card it did not show up in my computer. I've tried 3 different SD cards the sizes are16 gb, 32 gb and 2 gb and neither of them shows up, to make sure the problem is not in the SD card I tried using the SD cards in 2 cameras and 2 other laptops. In all those devices the cards works.
I have tried installing these drivers from this thread https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T430s-4-in-1-express-card-SD-reader-mi... but it did not work.
I also tried following the instructions in this thread http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-card-reader-cannot-read-16-GB-SDHC-ca... but that did not help either.
According to the device manager the Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Host Controller is working correctly. The Ricoh SD Disk Device is also working correctly.
Whenever I insert the SD card the Sound for a new device plays and when i remove the SD card the removal sound plays. How can I fix this? I'm going away for 7 weeks with my laptop so I need to fix it ASAP and I dont have time to send the laptop to Lenovo.
EDIT:
I uninstalled Ricoh Media driver and now 1 of the cards show up but Windows complains about that it needs to be formatted, but the size is 0 so that doesn't work either. Tried installing the driver again and now they show up in the device manager again and proudly says that they are working but the SD card still doesn't show up so I can read the files on it.
EDIT 2:
If I go into the device manager and forcibly update the the Ricoh SD Disk Device then it says:
Disc: Disc 1
Type: Removable
Status: Online
Partitiontype: MBR (Master Boot Record)
Capacity: 15807 MB
Non-allocated space: 0 MB
Allocated space: 0 MB
For the 32 gb SD card everything is the same but instead it says "Capacity: 30828 MB".
EDIT 3:
When the SD card is inserted a storage device pops up in the device manager. The name of the device is just "Unknown device" and the status is that it can't find any installed drivers for the device.

I'm experiencing a similar situation with my 1-year old T430s. The built-in card reader was working fine until recently when it stopped working.
Now the built-in SD card reader doesn't recognize SD cards that are recognized in external USB adapters.
Device Manager shows Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Controller when an SD card is inserted into the card reader but neither Windows Computer Management/Disk Management nor Windows Explorer show the drive. Device Manager indicates that the driver is up-to-date (v6.10.10.32 25May11.)
When I put the same SD cards into an external USB adapter they're recognized by Windows, assigned a drive letter and visible to Windows Explorer as well as other applications.
Do I have a defective card reader?

Is it possible to install a 3G SIM card reader to Satellite M645-S4070

Hi there!
I have Satellite M645-S4070 laptop with serial no. YA153766K.
It is WiMAX ready and also has a SIM card slot but does not have a SIM card reader.
I took a slight look inside and it does have something that has "3G" written on it.
Would it be possible to install a SIM card reader to my laptop?
I know, that I could also use a 3G USB modem but it would be a lot more convenient to get connection without additional devices around my laptop.
Thanks!
Taros

Hi
As far as I know there are models which supports 3G or Intel 4G WiMAX
Your unit supports 4G (WiMAX)
Im not quite sure if its possible to upgrade this unit with an 3G module but if it would be possible, this needs to be done by Toshiba authorized service technician.
By the way: your notebook belongs to the Toshiba US series and was released for the US market therefore I recommend checking the Toshiba US forum:

HT204384 why does my 16gb SDHC card reads as full, but I can't see the files

I have a SanDisk 30mb/s 16GB SDHC card used with a GoPro HD Hero. When I plug it into my card reader, it DOES show up on my desktop. When I double-click on it, I see the folders, but no files. I know the card is full, and it shows up as full when I press "command i".
How can I get these files?!?

I just wasn't sure I should put down the actual IP address.
You made the right choice, and is what I guessed was the case. But I've learned to confirm my assumptions; I've been surprised before.
Anyway, hope you get somewhere with your IT folks. If you approach them from the standpoint that you can't ping the server and avoid, at least initially, the "can't mount the server volume" issue, you may have better luck with them. If you can get them to help you to the point where you get a ping through successfully, you may find the other problems go away.
One note: it is possible that they've blocked the ability to ping their network devices, so the failure of the ping isn't completely diagnostic. But it's certainly a symptom to bring up with them; if they are blocking ping, they should tell you that.
Good luck.

How to remove SD Card from the Card Reader slot - Satellite A100?

Hi,
Is there anyone to help me? I inserted a 64 MB SD card in the card reader slot of my Toshiba A100 model. It's the first time i have inserted the card. The card is inside the slot. I can not take it out! I don't have any idea how to remove the card from the card reader slot. I can see the contents of my SD card, can open the files too. But how to remove it out from the slot. Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.

Hi
In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

Webcam on Satellite A300-1MX doesn't work properly

After my windows Vista system crashed on Dec 16 2011, I had the recovery done.
After that, I didn't find any webcam driver on the whole laptop. On the support page of Toshiba I finally found version 1.7, but that doesn't work at all!
It always shows up: Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. As it is a built in camera I tried it with the restart of the computer, but that didn't help at all. So I tried it with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without any success.
So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it didn't help at all!
Has somebody an idea?

Hi
Found a Toshiba knowledge base article which describes this error and provides a solution to this issue.
+Why does the error message display: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer."?+
+http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+
But its related to Portege M600, and Satellite U300 only.
However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the webcam software once again.
You should also check the device manager. Here in device manager the webcam should be recognized as a USB device if this is not the case then this means that the webcam has not been recognized by OS and this means that there could be an hardware issue
As far as I know the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lose, then the webcam would not be recognized in device manager; neither as USB device nor an unknown device.

Satellite A300-1MX - Bluescreen after installation

Hello
I have a problem with Windows XP Installation. I set the Compatibility-Mode and everything goes.
But at the end of Installation comes the blue screen, and windows stopped.
"An important Thread for the OS is stopped unexpected"
I loaded the drivers for SATA from Toshiba, but they dont work.
I dont know what to do else, please help me.
And please forgive me my bad English
Grettings Infi38

Hi!
You must install the SATA drivers before you install Windows and if you have the SATA mode compatible you dont need SATA drivers but you lost a little bit performance.
So I you want to reinstall Windows with AHCI mode, you must download the Storage Manager from Toshiba (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
Copy the driver on an external FDD and press F6 after the notebook started from CD or create your own installation disk with nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/).

How can I use PCMCIA card in Satellite A300-177?

I recently purchased a PCMCIA wireless card for my Satellite A300-177 laptop and when i went to fit it found out that they use the express card now.
Just wondering would this converter fit http://www.roalan.com/expresscard_to_pcmcia_cardbus.htm.
I know this might seem a bit obivous but with companies nowadays you never know if the conections are the same even though they share the same name.

Hello
Is your notebook delivered without WLAN card or you want to use faster WLAN card?
The adapter compatibility can confirm the manufacturer itself. They must offer specification for own product.
Anyway, I think your notebook has WLAN on board and I don't see the reason to have this big additional part. Sorry but it looks awesome for me. I can understand you must to have it because the notebook is without WLAN but .... I don't know.

Hi, tm001. You'll need to buy a card reader whose manufacturer guarantees its compatibility with the new SDHC card standard. Many older readers and other devices that can handle 1GB and smaller SD cards easily are incompatible with SDHC cards.

HP Pavilion dv6 card reader won't detect some SDHC cards

Notebook Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so
Windows 7 - 64 bits
The notebook's card reader won't detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90, and the BIOS, but it still won't recognize some of our cards.
We have six SDHC cards, three SanDisk (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and one Integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 and 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two Kingston cards). What is strange and that you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and capacity!
About the two cards that don't get recognized in our notebook, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problems by another HP Pavilion dv6-3138so notebook card reader, as well as by two netbooks of ours from two different brands.
When we connect the cameras (one Canon and one Sony, both point-and-shoot) to the computer via a USB 2.0 cable, the laptop detects the cameras and through them we can access the cards.
We purchased the laptop less than two weeks ago in Helsinki, Finland.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hey Everyone,
Using a high capacity card in a standard card reader slot will cause this issue. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having issues with are the SDHC cards and not the standard SD cards. As Naoto stated, by using a camera as a card reader you an workaround this. You can also look into SDHC card reader adapters. Here is a good article on the SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq
Hope this helps!

Does anyone's iMac read the SDHC cards?

My iMac will read SD cards, but the new type SDHC card is not read. If your iMac does, what reader do you use? I have an older reader for multiple different cards.
I used to have a 4G SD card which the older reader and the iMac would input. The card broke so I bought a SDHC 4G card and the iMac does not read it.
I wonder if I buy a SDHC card reader/USB that the iMac will 'see' the SDHC card?

The older PPC-based early LCD iMac 1 GHz PowerPC G4, 1 GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.11)
of the OP is a bit different in vintage hardware and design, without a built-in reader.
{Most other references between a newer twice-removed model iMac based on Intel chips
and other improvements, is something to consider in this thread. And that makes the link
provided not applicable to the computer in question.}
The newer external card reader should be adequate to resolve this issue, since the OS X
version should be capable to handle the data once the reader is upgraded. I'd hold off on
any changes in the system software, since the reader should plug & play. The last thing I
do is add software that came with some peripheral, when my system is otherwise fine.
{If the card in question is used in relation to a camera, for awhile, one can just plug the
camera into the Mac and use that to read the card. I rarely use a card reader with mine;
since the DSLR and other digital cameras transfer fast enough & with little battery loss.}
Good luck & happy computing!

What type of SDHC Memory Reader do I need to transfer 32g of pictures to Iphoto?

I have a MAC OS X 10.5.8 computer . Can I transfer 32Gig of pictures with seperate SDHC Card Reader?

Of course. If you have a SDHC card, you just have to buy a reader and connect it to your computer. Then, open iPhoto, choose the SDHC card in the sidebar and copy the pictures you need
