Broken SD slot

Wow, what a shit, POS computer lenovo made.

After suffering through a laptop that freezes regularly because it is first 6 weeks, I am going through the repair depot and have the motherboard replaced.

Except the SD card slot is out of this unit.  Map doesn't "stick" inside, the slightest jostle will pop out.  It was fine when I sent it in for repair, and that it is completely down.

And of course, I bought a 32GB SD card and use it a lot for secondary storage, this isn't a problem, I can live with.

Everyone knows about this problem?  I can't, for the life of me believe that I need to ship this thing come back once more and return to my 5 year old dell.  Kinda makes me wonder why I ever left dell.

the motherboard are replaced so that the sd card reader would be also replaced because it is directly soldered to the motherboard, the motherboard they replaced could have a faulty card reader.

You should call lenovo and ask them to fix the problem.

  • Satellite A30 broken PCMCIA slot

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. Girlfriend was a little careless and broken the PCMCIA eject off when put away his Satellite A30.

    Can't get a card to go into the slot so that it resembles a replacement is required.

    So the question is how to replace the PCMCIA mechanism? I tried to remove all the screws of the cover, but there must be some well hidden fasteners that I couldn't go down the case to expose it.

    Any suggestions for where I could source a spare in the United Kingdom? Probable cost?

    See you soon

    It a shame to hear this.
    The PCMCIA location is hidden inside the laptop and it's not easy to replace for someone without any experience.
    So I think you should really ask someone more experienced to laptop for fixing.

    It of a bit risky to change what whether on the motherboard and you know a common user like me or you might damage something.

    So contact an ASP in your country or a laptop service point and ask for fees. Don t think much more expensive s.

  • AT105 with European firmware

    I got an AT100 for repairs (broken SD slot) and now it seems to have become an AT105.

    This then seems to confuse the Server Service Station, if she sees any firmware updates beyond the Android 3.1 which end up with after the repairs (I suspect that the whole circuit has been replaced).

    How can I get the update to Android 4.0?

    Hello

    AFAIK the AT105 came out for US market and the AT100 was the similar Tablet for the EU market.

    But the two should be the same.

  • T530 RAM upgrade

    Hello

    I recently bought a T530, and wanted to update my 16 GB RAM. However, if I insert the RAM module in slot 2, the computer does not boot (BIOS has been updated, the modules are the same MoBo has also been replaced by a technician from Lenovo). Other solutions? Note that the 2 slot does not work even if there is nothing in the first slot (two modules operate in the first place).

    Thank you

    Hello

    Laptop works with the new RAM stick only in slot 1?
    If 'yes' and sticks are the same that you specified that the cause could be a broken 2nd slot (pins of the connector) or its tracks on the circuit board.

  • Satellite 1800-100 - is RAM slot B broken?

    Due to the poor system performance 256 MB of RAM to put in with the the laptop 128 MB, I bought came with. When I opened the hood to the RAM slots I realized that the two slots were already in use. I got my brother's cell phone and he told me that he had bought 256 MB, a few years back and he says they worked and the laptop ran with 384 MB.

    The laptop has an A slot and a slot B. When I put all 3 Rams (128,256,256) into A slot they are recognized by the BIOS and notebooks works very well. However, if I put one of them in the slot B I turn on the laptop and noting happens, I can´t even not to enter the BIOS.

    When I put 2x256MB (A and B) the laptop only works with 256 MB. So I guess the slot B is somehow broken? This hypothesis is correct? How do I go about solving this problem?

    Thank you for a ton for all the comments / responses

    Hello

    Yes it looks like there is a faulty RAM slot. This doesn't happen often, but sometimes I read about sound.
    There is no way to fix it. The only way I know is to exchange the complete motherboard. Maybe you can get a second hand motherboard from eBay.

    Good luck!

  • Second slot memory broken from the factory?

    I have a HP Pavilion m6-1000eo.

    My problem is when I try to add more memory that it just snaps into the second slot. I tried with a memory of my old mac and to be sure that it is not the memory that does not fit I also tried to put in the memory supplied with the computer at the secondary location. The original mem. organic pollutants persistent and at the main location with a team, but it does not work in high school.

    I suspect it's something wrong with the comp. from the factory since it's as if something is in the path of memory, so it cannot slide at bottom. I hope that you can see if this is the case in the pic.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I don't see anything bad about the picture. You have to push the module with more pace sometimes, but be careful. Perhaps a picture angle toward the slot can bring up more.

  • Treo 500 broken expansion card slot

    Trying to take out my battery (very difficult), I broke the expansion card slot.  The wacky things that create the hinge broke.  The cardholder still "locks", but...

    The phone is reading the expansion card (4 GB), but only let me put a song on it! before you say full. So, I was wondering if maybe he is not locked properly (because of the missing hinge).

    Buy another one somewhere?  I looked at the Palm site, but she had that standard sort of bits & pieces listed.

    I have looked for a tray of replacement SD card but have not been able to find this part. There are bins available SIM cards but not the CD tray card.

    You will probably need to contact Palm in your location and set up a repair.

    Come on Palm.com, select your region, click on support and look for support services telephone numbers. Call the number of the smartphone support and deal with compensation.

  • Genius Bar broke my RAM Slot

    My computer knew some problems turning on and I took it to the genius bar. They went through my MacBook as there are of course many causes possible so I went to pick up another day, when they were performed. I have just return and everything works well except the RAM. I had 8 GB installed and registered only 4 GB. After rotation autour and only use a stick at a time I have diagnosed the issue as the least RAM slot is the problem. I want to know what I have to do? Is it a simple fix I can do (or try) or I need to resume and explain?

    I expect that you will need to make an appointment with the Genius Bar, because apparently you have diagnosed the cause:

  • Pavilion g6-2333el: g6-2333 el Pavilion RAM slot does not

    Hi, I recently decided to update RAM of my Paviliion g6-2333el by adding a second 4 GB of RAM.

    I inserted the new RAM in the RAM secondary housing, but the PC seemed unable to find. Fearing that I might you bought a RAM that was not compatible with my laptop, I tried to delete the original RAM and put another in his place: the new RAM has been correctly identified.

    Seeing that the new RAM was indeed compatible, I tried to insert the old one in secondary housing, and the result was the same: the RAM was not considered by the PC.

    I noticed the following about this secondary property of RAM:

    (1) the RAM seems to be inserted less deeply than in the other slot

    (2) the RAM is very easily put out of position when he is in this niche (as in, just a little touch will make it fall out of the connector)

    (3) in contrast with the other location, when the metal arms that hold the RAM in place are released RAM no "eject" on its own

    Someone has an idea what could be the problem? The connector is broken or it's just that for some reason any RAM can't stay in place?

    Try blowing the slot with compressed air. Insert the module at a 45 degree angle and don't hesitate to push a little once you are sure that the notch is aligned with the tab into the slot...

  • Satellite A200 - memory expansion card latch is broken

    Hello

    I bought 2x2gb memory cards to insert in the slots of RAM on my Satellite A200.

  • Matched XW8400 CPU... .only a CPU slot 1 work

    I have Inhereted a XW8400 with only works on 1 2 matched Intel quad core Cpu. I have exchanged around the matched CPU and both work well, but only in slot 1. The information system gives me only 1 CPU to 4 cores and 4 logic.

    I have inspected the slot 2 with a microscope and found that no pins are damaged, broken or out of place. I'm removing the CPU in a good sense.

    It has been suggested that I update my Bios and found a level of 2.3xxx on the HP site and downloaded, however, when you try to load it in F10 during boot to start what he reads in the column flashrom two andUSB Optics (which I tried) shows a red window saying "file is not present missing or corrupted. " I checked and found that it is NOT corrupt and most certainly there IS on both disks and USB flash memory.

    My motherboard is at fault? because everything else works very well with win 7 pro 64 bit and 16 GB of ram ECE in the correct locations.

    The questions I have are:-

    (A) it is the motherboard 1) have I missed some sort of activation process? (2) how do I test if it is the motherboard?

    Can (B) Pourquoi I not take my flashrom as indicated in the above path?

    What I am doing wrong? and how do I check and or a solution?

    any suggestions welcome, I know it's probably an old machine now, but he has left life plaenty and works great (if a little slow by the standards of today ' hui).

    Thank you very much in advance for any response.

    Kind regards

    Be able to run in what concerns only a processor... it may be a motherboard problem because you have proven that the two processors are the same and work in the upper part when taken there by themselves.  You will have to just live with a Quad Core...

    Regarding the question of the USB... the USB key must be formatted cost with fat32, it must have only the single .bin file on it and nothing else, and we must put it in my computer when it stops completely.  Then, boot in the BIOS and use the option here in the first tab updated the BIOS to go into the BIOS.

    The bin file is 7D5_0238.bin, and it's the only thing you want to see on this USB key.  I'll try to tie it, but it cannot be allowed.

    Nope... not allowed.  I'll try to zip and tie it...

    Yep... that worked.  Just unzip that put on your USB key and try with that.

    If this does not work then just run the HP SoftPaq for this update BIOS of Windows 7... just the fire and it should automatically launch a page that allows you to run the BIOS flashing directly from in W7.  This page will not be talking about Windows 7, that does not matter.  You may need to respond in W7, the program installed correctly.

    EDIT: in general, it is best to get something as important as this .bin file directly from the source, the HP SoftPaq.  How to do this has been posted here several times... it is in the BACK folder after you run the SoftPaq, which is SP51225.exe for the last (and probably last) xw8400 BIOS updater.  It will be at the root of drive C, inside the SWSetup folder.

  • Satellite 502 901 - hinges are broken

    Hello

    I have a top of the range (at time of purchase) by Satellite 502 901 (2.4 Ghz, 80 GB, 512 MB ram, son of the late, display 1600 x 1200, pentium 4 mobile, docking Bay slot...). Unfortunately, after a year I had problems. The unit is now 3 years old and the hinges are broken on the screen. The DVD/CD drive also fails to operate occasionally. I also had a "Thunder fly" switch to the screen, crawling in the middle and died there, very nice.

    I still tenderly care for the laptop, while it cost me an arm and a leg. I always love the laptop despite the problems, but would like help as to where you can get help. I need the hinges of the screen (his share of the work aluminium frame in the main body of the laptop. Where can they be purchased? I live in GERMANY, but I am English and bought the laptop in Southampton England from PC World.

    I'd appreciate any help. I don't need parts, I have already a computer technician.

    Mr.W.P.Spanner

    If you don't find anything on eBay so the hinges and the executives of the screen you can buy or order too at the Toshiba service partner in your country. On the Toshiba support page, you will find a data base of the entire ASP worldwide.

  • Can satellite P200 - 18 p - I use 4 GB of RAM in 1 slot?

    Hello

    I m the owner of a Toshiba Satellite P200 - 18 p. One of my memory slots is broken. I used to have two ram 2 GB memory modules for a total of 4 GB of RAM, but only 1 slot is working now. I would like to know if it s possible to have 4 GB of ram module instead of 2 + 2 gb.
    THX!

    I didn't test it on my P200, but I think it should work. Problem is that on the list of RAM Toshiba does not offer compatible 4 GB of RAM for this model of laptop, just 2 GB modules.
    RAM is DDR2 667 MHZ, but you can use DDR2 800 MHz modules.
    You can try with 4 GB of RAM DDR2 800 MHz with PA3670U-1M4G part number.

    Please post comments. It may be useful information for other people with the same problem.

  • HP DV7 - 1247CL: I was stupid and broken my RAM housing... where can I find the part to fix it?

    Can someone tell me where I can buy a replacement for my RAM box? I finally decided to go on my poles 2x2gb for 2 x 4 GB sticks, but it was late, I was tired and I broke accidentally one of the arms of the RAM box because I was stupid. So now, the RAM can't lock it up and I fear that any bump serious he will hit coward. However, the attempt to find alternative accommodation has been a beast. I use search terms probably not even appropriate for this. If it is possible to replace this part, I'd rather not buy a shell of computer laptop everything for the single piece...

    Hello @shald,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I read your message and understand that the DIMM slots are broken on your HP Pavilion dv7 - 1247cl. The DIMM slots are directly connected to the product system map, change the slots would require the entire system board replacement. You can find spare parts by using the guide to maintenance and after-sales service of the products in conjunction with the HP part surfer.

  • Intel Centrino 1000 bgn wifi adapter 'broken '? (on Z570)

    On my new laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad Z-570), I have installed and working
    fine (for about 2 months now), as the dual boot between Linux and Win - 7.

    The wifi hardware is the Intel Centrino 1000-N, that plugs into the PCI-E card
    location of bus. (I had the large bottom plate and examined the)
    card, who has two sons, 1 white, 1 black and stands in his
    slot with a single phillips screw. [Seems that they can put "lock-tight"
    cement on the threads of the screw, the screw did not move.]

    Here's my current dilemma: 2 days, while that started under Linux.
    rather than tension, as usual, I closed the lid and went to bed.
    In the morning, at the opening of the lid, I realized... hmm... maybe it was
    hibernation (if I remember correctly).

    So, I turned it off and then cold started upward. The wifi was not see
    no signal at all. (Clearly the router/WLAN worked like my wife
    laptop connected fine.) I grew up in a cmd, su command prompt ' ed, and
    "iwlist scan" and has confirmed that there is a problem. Said that he could not
    analysis via the interface 'wlan0', because the network was down.
    I went in the ceni and walked through a re - configure and got:
    '... cannot be set without wire-flags... impossible operation, due to the RF-kill'

    Intrigued, I restarted, more to Win - 7, and she also couldn't see any wifi signal.

    I checked the slide switch on the front dash Panel... it looked very well.
    has been passed to the right. Slippery left causes an avant-panneau-LED
    to go off, slide the switch to the right, causing an avant-panneau LED to
    on. (I think I know that this switch controls bluetooth and wifi
    devices. I have not played with the Bluetooth at all yet).

    2 days ago, my conclusion was that the material 'broken' on the wifi adapter.

    But now, my "instinct" is the thought that maybe miss me another possibility.
    (for example a BIOS setting governs the wifi?) Could a misconfigured 'putting into hibernation'
    the installer put the wifi adapter in statehood "firmware-level/BIOS-level-disabled"?
    [for example such that neither OS can easily get the wifi adapter to see signals?]

    TIA...

    checked the fn + f5 to turn on the wireless?
    also check the updates to the bios download page if there is place.
