Windows NT4.0 does not support PCMCIA (PC Card)
function. You may need an external program for this.
Make sure the card is fully inserted; the outer end of the
card should be even with the edge of the notebook.
Remove and insert the PC card again.
Make sure there is no IRQ conflict with the card. See
Windows on-line help for solving IRQ conflicts.
Reboot the notebook and see if the problem persists.
The card may be defective. Try the card on another
system, if possible.
Make sure you have <Stop> the PC card before
removing it. Double-click the PC Card icon at the lower
right corner of the task bar and select the card you wish
to stop. When you click <OK>, in few seconds Windows
will prompt you to remove the card.
In a 35°C environment, the notebook's bottom case is
expected to reach 50 degrees.
Make sure the air vents are not blocked.
If the fan does not seem to be working at high
temperature (50 degrees Celsius and up), contact the
service center.
Certain programs that are processor-intensive may
increase the notebook temperature to a degree where
the notebook automatically slows down its CPU clock to
protect itself from thermal damage.
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to see if an application is still
responding.
Restart the notebook.
This may be normal for Windows when it is processing
other CPU-intensive programs in the background.
