Possible Cause
The card is not properly
installed.
The card may have
been installed while an
application was running,
so your notebook is not
aware of its installation.
Your software may not
have the correct
software driver active.
You may have the wrong
I/O address selected for
the activated PC Card.
Your PC Card device
and another device are
assigned the same I/O
address.
The installed primary
battery is completely
discharged, there is no
optional second battery
installed or there is no
Power adapter (AC
adapter) installed.
The primary battery is
installed but is faulty.
The battery or batteries
are low.
The power adapter (AC
adapter) is not plugged
in properly.
Possible Solution
Remove and re-install the card.
Close the application and restart your
notebook.
See your software documentation and
activate the correct driver.
See your PC Card documentation to
determine the required I/O address. Change
the settings in the BIOS.
Check all I/O addresses located within the

hardware or software to make sure there are
no duplications.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to
determine the presence and condition of the

presence and condition of the batteries. If
a battery is indicating a short, remove that
