X230, gobi3000 driver fail, cannot start Code 10

Having a bit of an issue with the GOBI3000 unit in my x230.
Tried out W8.1 on the laptop and didn't quite like the setup, so this evening I did the factory reset back to W7.
I've done the factory reset (from USB drive) every few months to get a clean slate going and never had any issues.
Except for today that is.
After getting into the clean windows 7 and trying to pull down all the usuall windows updates and Lenovo updates, the only thing that failed is the GOBI3000 device.  Screenshot is included of what is happening.
Tried messing around with drivers as much as possible, uninstall everything, download the package from lenovo and tried again.  Just did a second factory restore in the freak case the first reset had something happen.
Like I mentioned, have never had an issue with the system update pulling the drivers down for this before.  
Couldn't really find much about this device not being able to start, so I'm at a standstill.  
Any suggestions on this would be helpful, otherwise I'll push through to Lenovo support.

militarymedic23,
Gobi 3000 under the fresh instaled OS without drivers is visible in Device Manager as firmware loader port only. Since drivers are installed that port disappears and new devices and ports appear - modem, network adapter, NMEA (GPS) and diagnostic ports.
x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
Do it well, worse becomes itself

  • U530 Touch - Audio DRIVER ERROR - This device cannot start (Code 10) - Windows 7

    U530 - High definition audio device - ERROR - This device cannot start (Code 10) Windows 7, please see the picture
    Picture link (hosted on photobucket.com)
    I got all drivers up to date including the BIOS, everything is working fine (the sound works, microphone works...) but this error is kind of annoying to my eyes so if anyone know how to fix it please help.
    I tried to uninstall this and let windows update install it again => not worked, same problem.
    I tried to re-install the Realtek driver (uninstall - restart machine - install - restart machine) => same problem
    And another probelm which has not been solved yet is the Bluetooth icon keep blinking on battery mode (windows 7), you can see more in this thread

    What kind of reinmstall did you perform?  If you used the recovery media, then this will be pretty simple. Boot to the recovewry media again and this time select the Reinstall drivers and applications option. Find the audio driver on the list of available drivers, put a tick in the box to its left and then click on the install button in the lower right hand corner of the window. The driver will be installed.  Your list will be different than the following one, but this is only an example.

    Hello Manu,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having so many issues with getting your Expresscard 8360 working on your Lenovo. I recommend that we first look into Device Manager in more details. You mentioned that there were question marks (?) on certain devices. This usually means that there are devices on your PC that do not have any associated hardware drivers. For the Expresscard 8360, the drivers should be native to the Windows system, so I am unsure if those "?" do belong to this portion of the system. We can test this out by removing the expresscard 8360 and see if the "?" are still present. These "?" can be from the internals of the PC or modules that you've attached. If you've restored your operating system recently, it could be from the peripherals of your computer in which case you will need to find and install the chipset drivers. This can also be from the modules that you in your chassis, assuming that you haven't installed the necessary drivers for them, in which case you can find them on the Driver CD you have.
    The exclamation mark (!) in Device Manager usually signifies a problem with getting the hardware started/operational. From your earlier posts I believe that the "!" is related to the Error Code 10 that you are receiving. Assuming that the correct power sequence was performed, chassis then PC, this is representative of a BIOS compatibility issue. Essentially this is occuring because the BIOS of the motherboard is not correctly allocating the necessary resources to all the devices as it is supposed to. Since you already have the latest BIOS, I would recommend that you try using the MXI Express Compatibility Software, here ni.com/beta. This is something that National Instruments created in order to correct for the incorrect resource allocation of the PC. It is not a beta program, it is only on the site so that we can manage it more easily. I have seen Lenovo T60 laptops work with this software installed.
    Let me know if this helps

  • Zen 8G This device cannot start code 10 and firmware update problem

    I have read the threads in the forums on the same problem that I am having. It seems that there are few solutions for this and the ones that have been posted I have tried. Basically the problem is this, I made the silly mistake of trying to update the firmware on my Zen 8G since it was listed as a critical update. I downloaded the firmware but it failed and took me to the recovery screen. Instead of working with this, again silly me, I tried to use the Creative recovery tool. This downloaded the firmwary and started rebooting the player. At this point it just hung. I left it on for about 3 hours and nothing happened and it wouldn't turn off so I hit the reset button on the player. Now when I connect it to the computer it recognizes it as a creative zen but if I try to download the firmware the software says the player is not connected when it is. When I check the device driver, even though it shows it as a creative zen it says "This device cannot start code 0"? I have the latest Microsoft device driver loaded and it still doesn't work.
    I have tried this on two different computers, one using XP and the other using Vista. I get the same problem with each. It appears to me that the problem is not really with the device driver but somehow with the firmware. However, I am not an expert at this stuff.
    If anyone could please help I would appreciate it. This was a gift for my wife for the Christmas of 2007 so it is just out of warranty and the service people won't help.

    GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
    . While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
    2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
    3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
    Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

  • Satellite Pro A10: New Atheros/Askey WLan card but 'This device cannot start' code 10

    Hi there,
    I have a Satellite Pro A10 and have purchased an internal mini pci wireless adapter. The following information is displayed on my card:
    Askey WLL3070-D4(MOW)
    Atheros AR5BRB-43
    I installed the card, hooked up the ariel's and turned the laptop on...the switch at the front now lights up and windows xp finds the new ethernet adaptor. My problem is this...
    No matter what driver i install (and ive tried every Askey/Atheros etc driver from the first 20+ pages of yahoo/google) the card installs fine but then in device manager has a yellow ! next to it and says This device cannot start (code 10)
    I'm really stumped. I have some more ram coming in a few days at which point i shall be installng Vista which im hoping sorts my problems out but does anyone have any ideas?
    I've yet to find a driver which specifically refers to the AR5BRB or the model number WLL3070-D4.
    Does anyone have a location for a driver etc?
    thank you

    Hi
    I use always this page for WLan driver update:

    This is a Toshiba WLan driver portal and there you can find all necessary WLan drivers

    Ok update last night instead of clear cmos i removed bios battery to see if that could help, it didnt, so i then installed vista 64 just to check it, and i get same error.
    So back on win7 i installed drivers as before and it lets me from disk but when it comes to driver update it says no craeti've products detected or something very simlar. i get same erro if i try and install the beta driver.
    Squall thanks for the suggestion but that also didnt help, i do remember though i had been benhmarking the afternoon it died?and had increased my ioh voltage to .25v which isnt much.
    I thought at first id damaged one of my pcie slots but i checked my gpus in all 7 pcie slots and they work fine.
    Looking at the net i see that there are lots of other people running into this error and not just with sound card but usb devices and such, so it gives me hope that the cards not bad.
    Any more suuggestions would be good,
    Other things i've tried is remove the device from device manager and retry, along with uninstall device.

  • Intel 9965 Device cannot start (Code 10) fix

    I just wanted to report my experience upgrading from Vista Basic to XP Pro on my new T61.
    The laptop came with Vista, I upgraded to XP Professional Service Pack 3.  Everything worked with the Lenovo downloadable drivers except the sound card, which would not install the correct drivers, and the Intel 4965 Wifi card, which would accept the drivers but would always give me a "Device cannot start (Code 10)" error and the wifi light wouldn't go off and on with the wireless switch on the front of the laptop.
    The sound card would not install the correct drivers because the 888111 SP2 patch would not patch SP3, even though this particular UAA driver problem has not been fixed in SP3.  I got around this by downloading kb888111.exe, opening the file (the .exe) with WinRAR, and extracting all the files to a temporary directory.  Running the file directly won't work.  From here you can either do a direct .inf driver install, or point the device manager to the temp dir while doing a device manager driver update.
    The Wifi problem was much more elusive, but ended up being easier to fix.  A simple BIOS update was all it needed.
    I used the update found at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67988
    I am also using the latest driver from Intel instead of Lenovo's, which is a tad old.  Either will work - I don't think this was a driver problem at all.

    Quote
    Great news, I did more research on the standard PCI slot and decided to dig deeper into the bios. I found a setting for the PCI frequency setting. It was set to auto so I switched it to manual and selected the lower of the 2 options thinking since this card was designed a decade ago it might not register properly at the higher frequency (I think the 2 options were 37Mhz and 41Mhz, don't quote me on the numbers). On reboot much to my surprise I saw device installed sucesssfully.
    Outstanding troubleshooting work!

  • Zen stone, vista and "device cannot start (Code 10) message&qu

    Today i got a Zen Stone gb mp3 for use with a local library's program, Overdri've Media which allows users to download e-books to their computer and then transfer the files to?a MP3-the Zen. The first time I used it it worked fine, no problem. Then I tried another download transfer later . When I attempted to load the Zen by plugging it into my USB port (I tried 3 different ports), the computer would not find?the device. This happened even though a screen appeared showing that a portable dri've had connected and the files could be played on WMP or other players.
    In Device Mgr., the Zen dri've has a yellow triangular sign showing an ! in it. Further exploration in Device Mgr. gives this message:
    ? Device Cannot Start (Code 0)
    ? Could not load Driver software.
    ? Windows was able to sucessfully install device driver software,however the dirver software encountered a problem when it tried? to run. Problem code 0.
    ?The drivers are up to date as is the firmware. I have run through the troubleshooting pages and the forum. I am using Vista 32-bit with 2 g memory. The Windows Media Player is v , which is required by the book/ library software, Overdri've Media.
    Incidentally, the Zen works fine on my wife's XP laptop. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • Device failed to start - Code 10 - Intel Wireless Card on NB550D

    Hi everyone,
    It's just a normal Toshiba NB550D netbook
    The only thing that I change is the Wireless Card inside it: the original is a common Atheros half mini card. Recently I have the urge to use internet in 5 ghz (frequency).
    Thus, I decide to replace the old one with the *half mini card Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN*
    It doesn't turn out so well. The driver is not recognised or more precisely the windows tries to install the driver but FAIL is reported. Device manager tool shows an "!" next to the network card and when I go the its properties at general tab: "*The device failed to start - Code 10*"
    I tried many ways to uninstall the driver and reinstall again ; also tried to download drivers from toshiba website for intel network card.
    Nothing works so far and yeah I just don't know what to do now.
    The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm.
    Please help me solve this problem. I really need to use dual band (2.4 and 5 ghz) internet.
    Appreciate any help!!

    >The possibility that the intel card is broken or malfunctioned is eliminated because I checked that with another laptop already and it just worked like a charm
    Regarding the error code 10:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943104/en-us
    +The Code 10 error pertains mainly to hardware and device driver issues or to compatibility issues between hardware drivers and additional software that is installed in Windows.+
    I dont think its Wlan card issue it could be a compatibility problem between the BIOS and the WLan card.
    Not all devices are supported by BIOS.
    But at the other hand the WLan card appears already in device manager and therefore I think there should not be a BIOS compatibility issue.
    Did you check if chipset would handle the Wlan card properly?

  • 802.11n cannot start (Code 10)

    Hi,  we have an Acer Aspire One 753 Series, Model MS52296.  It suddenly today stopped connecting to WI-FI (we are using phone tethering), and when I go to see at Device Manager at 802.11n, it says This device cannot start (Code 10) Anything I can do? If there is something i can download, is it possible to download onto this other device - save it onto flash memory and then use that at the Acer Aspire. I have no means to get to internet with that one presently. I appreciate any information on this,  Marjatta

    I would try the easiest thing first and restart your computer.  If that doesn't fix it......... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/943104 Edit: yes, you could put a new driver on a USB flash drive and transfer to your computer.

  • Audigy 2 value "This device cannot start (code 10) after installation and no so

    after installing this card I get a "This device cannot start (Code 0)" message in device manager. I disabled the onboard sound in the bios, installed using the CD and rebooted the computer. But still no sound. When using this method on another computer the installation went smoothly. Since it was still not installing on this computer I tried different PCI slots (keeping in mind that it is not suppose to be installed in the PCI slot adjacent to the AGP slot). I've tried everything I can think of and I still get a "This device cannot start (Code 0)" message under the driver in device manager and no sound whatsoever. Please help because if I can't get it to work I'll have to return it. Thank you.

    I did manage to get mine working finally, it was pretty stupid of me....
    Anyway I made sure the creative disk was in the dri've and then when my comptuer said "found new hardware" i pointed to the dri've and made it install the driver. Well that did work and it did say it installed the hardware, but it still didnt work. I then took it into my brother computer did it the exact same way and it worked fine. I finnaly brought it back to my PC and installed it one more time. it did the same exact thing. But this time i opened up the disk and installed the driver direct from the disk menu, after reboot it worked like a charm. Thought that was a tad strange, but it worked, maybe if someone makes the same mistake as me this will help.
    Card is good, not much of a step up from my li've 5., but that card is going in a friends PC so its no biggie.

  • WDM Capture Driver: Device Cannot Start (Error 10)

    I have GeForce3 Ti200 with S-Video In, Out and TV out. I'm trying to run Virtual Dub to view my PS2, which is going into the S-Video In. It said I needed capture drivers, so I went to http://www.nvidia.com, got the ones that come with the Personal Cinema thing and installed them. Those didn't work. Came here and tried the drivers here, those didn't work. Tried other drivers and those didn't work. They all said "Device cannot start (Code 10)"
    I've tried 1.1.6, 1.1.7 and 1.1.9. Any ideas? I've searched on google and seen some stuff about turning off ACPI but I use ACPI, so I'm not willing to do that.

    God I love forums, cause 99.9% of the time someone else has encountered the same problem and then hopefully someone else who found a fix, posts that fix.

     Much thanks to Nixus, and everyone who had solutions, but I found a variation of Nixus' solution was what worked for me so that's what I'll recommend.
    "I downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
    Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin
    Cheers
    Nixus"
    This is what I did anyway:
    1) went to http://www.msi.com.tw and dragged the mouse over 'support' and then clicked on live updates 2. Installed this program.
    2) went to http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/
     which Nixus brought up,
     and clicked on the install button. Which installed some other software to make this button work, then installed the flashing program. Held my breathe while it updated the vga bios, normally I'd do this from a clean dos 5.0 boot disk I have, and voila, problem fixed.
    Well, not quite. After installing updated vga bios, all nvidia drivers were zapped. Or at least not installed right.
    3) Add/remove programs, uninstall nvidia wdm drivers and vga driver for the 1 billionth time. Reboot.
    4) Install 30.82 whql certified ones, rebooted.
    5) Install wdm 1.19 drivers, reboot
    6) Go into system, and now instead of the exclamation point alongside the nvidia capture driver with that error, it just shows as working. Tried virtual dub, btw program rocks except for that 2 gig file limitation, and changed the source to composite and bingo, video in again.
    So long story short, I updated my 8850 to the updated bios, uninstalled all old nvidia drivers, installed 30.82 and then wdm 1.19 and it worky again. Haven't tried it with det4 drivers yet, didn't feel like pressing my luck.
     If you search in this vga forum using the word "capture" without the quotes, it seems this problem with the 8850 and others is QUITE common :(
     Whatever...updated bios fixed it for me...fine...so long as it's fixed. Bad enough I gotta boot into 98se to use my old large, legal sized mustek scanner on account of no win2k/xp drivers, don't want to have to boot into 98crash_edition ( well technically all 95-me could be called that ) everytime I want to cap something.
