If something goes wrong
The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert a
PC Card.
The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict
between the PCMCIA socket and another device in the system. Use
Device Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O base
address. See "Fixing a problem with device manager" in the
electronic user's guide for more information.
Since all PC Cards share the same socket, each card is not required
to have its own address.
ExpressCard™ problems
ExpressCard™ checklist
(Available on certain models)
❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See "Using an ExpressCard™" in the electronic user's guide
for information about how to insert ExpressCards.
❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Occasionally a defective ExpressCard slips through quality
control. If another computer with an ExpressCard slot is
available, try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions
again, it may be defective.
Resolving ExpressCard™ problems
