Satellite A100-259 and PCMCIA card reader no longer works

I have a Satellite A100-259, I've had for about a year with no problems... so far, the PCMCIA card slot reader seems to have stopped working.

When I insert a card reader SD PCMCIA discover the laptop hardware as a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURE' and subsequently can not find the drivers for it. I tried a couple of different PCMCIA devices and get the same question every time, I checked also double the card reader works by trying it in PC laptop Toshiba-not to the woman.

The PC is a XP/Vista installation start-up duel and I get the same question under each operating system. I also think that it may have started after I installed upgrading the BIOS to 2.20.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, b
Kind regards.

Try to access the BIOS and set the defaults.
Don t forget to save the settings after the change.

By the way; Are you trying to reinstall the PCMCIA driver?
Go to the Device Manager and remove the PCMCIA computer location.
Then restart the laptop and check if Windows detects and installs the removed slot.

Good luck

    For me, the matter is simple, and the reason why the SD card reader is not working, it's just a driver compatible isn't installed.
    My theory seems to be correct, given that the SM bus controller and PCI simple communication controller appear in Device Manager and I suppose that one of these devices belongs to the player/controller of the SD card.

    I think that you should simply install this Realtek card reader controller that I found on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/CARC-20130924161048.zip

    In addition, you must install all the other drivers Win 7 as well as Toshiba tools available by Satellite C850 series.

    Very important is the chipset driver, USB 3.0 driver (Win 7 has this port driver to control the USB 3.0), display driver. etc.

    Not very essential tools are Bulletin Board, product information online Reeltime, etc. This tools additional don t improved the performance of the laptop so its up to you if you want to use these software components

  • HPE - 590t: 15-en-1 card reader no longer works

    Hi all

    Today, I noticed that my SD card reader stopped working in my HPE - 590t.  I noticed that Windows 10 assigns generic drivers at the following as shown in Device Manager:

    All other players are working perfectly, only the 15-in-1 card reader does not work, which leads me to believe that the generic drivers that has installed 10 Windows are not compadible with this device.

    My HPE - 590 t initially provided with drivers for 15-in-1 card reader and worked well with Windows 7. Anyone know where I can download third-party drivers 3 for this device? I read that some users who have realtek devices are able to use the realtek drivers.

    My HPE - 590 t has a card mother IPMTB-TK Pegatron Truckee - UL8E.

    Given that the specs on my system does not identify the manufacturer of the card reader - 15 in 1, I am at a loss to know where to go for the drivers for the 15-in-1 card reader.   If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very happy!

    Hi all

    I just wanted to point to my own son I found a solution.  15 - in a single card reader had apparently dust causing the drive only reads do not my SD cards.  In which case I solved this situation by spraying a can of air into the slots and now the 15 - in-1 card reader works fine without problems.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - card reader no longer works

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 - PSAACE-008002EN, that I bought a month ago, its worked perfectly so far and has been fantastic to use.

    The main part that I use is the memory located on the front card reader, I have used it with SD, MMC and cards XD for my pda and cameras, until now, it worked well, but recently, I was music transfer etc for my Sony PSP Memory Stick using a Memorystick Pro Duo Pro adapter so that the card fits properly in the slot and it works very well.

    All of a sudden the laptop can no more read on my MS card, I tried the card in a usb card reader and it works perfectly with or without the adapter. The laptop card reader reads cards SD MMC and XD, still perfectly fine but when I framed my memorystick, it shows the stick as being there in my computer, but when I click on the dialog box appears and says that there is no disc?

    I tried to install the latest drivers but it does not work, any help is appreciated

    Thank you very much

    I found this information and first of all, I want to put a list of supported cards:

    SD (support of multiple Digital Media Card slot) capacity 8MB - 2GB
    Memory Stick (supported by several Digital Media Card slot) capacity 8 to 256 MB
    photo 16-1 GB xD card
    Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
    Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    MultiMediaCard 8 MB - 1 GB

    According to this list, the Memory Stick Pro Duo is not supported. But you used an adapter.
    But maybe this is a reason why the card reader cannot read the MS cards more.

    What you can do is to remove the card from the Device Manager reader, and after new restart try to install this new device

  • Portege R500 - fingerprint reader and SD card reader does not work

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me.

    I bought an opportunity Portege R500 (the warranty is still available until 12/2010) and set up with Windows 7 Home Premium.

    I installed all the drivers for Windows 7 from the specific model support page. Driver Vista have been installed for all drivers, which are not available in Windows 7.

    If everything works fine, except the fingerprint reader and the sd card slot.

    Fingerprints: I tried al a lot of drivers, even that of the R600 and R700 (such as proposed by someone here in the forum). When I run the Toshiba fingerprint utility, a text box tells me, that there is no connection with the sensor. Authentc software does not work either.

    SD card reader: I tried several SD cards from a card SD 2 GB simple and old (but functional) Kingston. According to the Director of devicce, the driver is correctly installed and running.
    The blue icon next to wireless light turns on and after a "long", a message box appears and asks me to format the card. It takes a little longer and then I get the massage, the card cannot be formatted. I tried the same procedure with a SDHC card 4 GB and a Micro SDHC card in a SD card adapter. Then of course the cards are identified but not usable and formatted.

    There are several reports of other users of the internet, the locations of sd card in computer models laptops different toshiba have problems under Windows 7.

    The two problems have emerged as well under Vista. My hope was, this upgrade to Win 7 solve poverty. Unfortunately remain the problems of th I have Win 7.

    Thanks in advance,

    Michael (Germany)

    Thanks for the feedback second
    By the way; It is a forum for user to user in this community, everyone is trying to help everyone, so if someone wants to say that he would be able to help, then you will get a response from such user maybe you should also pass a few simple threads in this forum and might help other users as well?

    Tip; BIOS update and setting BIOS by default (with F9) can solve many problems... it's worth a try...

    By the way; Win 7 is able to update the drivers automatically. I recommend that you run an update in Device Manager and let windows search for the update.

    I ve got another laptop and installed Win 7 as well. The card reader Vista driver has worked for me on Win 7 OS just a tip

  • E7440 SD card reader no longer works after update November 12 W10

    Since the last update of Windows 10 that came on November 12 the drive in my Dell E7440 SD card no longer works. I've tried different drivers, but when I look in the detail it shows the following:

    PCI\VEN_1217 & DEV_8520 & SUBSYS_05CB1028 & REV_01\4 & 32 c 44212 & 0 & 00E4 had a problem starting.

    Upper filters:
    Problem: 0 x 15
    Problem state: 0x0

    Simply, it does not show the SD card, and even when I remove all the drivers, restart and install again it does not work. Is this a known issue? Is there a solution already? Windows 10 worked very well in combination with the SD card reader until this update.

    HM, probably it is related to the BIOS update then. I flashed A15 and the SD card works again. I also found others on the internet with the same problem, so A16 BIOS should not be flashed for this model if you want to continue using your SD card reader.

  • SD card reader no longer works

    Hey guys,.
    My 7 year old has a HP 7 1800. And a week ago it stopped reading the SD card. I thought that maybe she deleted or something, but I took it out and everything is always on the Samsung 8 GB card. So I didn't know if a restart/wipe would get the player to work again. Thanks for any help.

  • The M70-267 Satellite internal memory card reader does not work

    Hello

    Internal memory card reader no longer works on my M70-267.
    Device Manager reports the error with the driver of the bus PCI 6 mass storage controller, device 4, function 3.
    The first problem, the result of this is?

    Help, please
    thanx

    Hello

    Yes, this mass storage controller could be the card reader. So, you can try to reinstall the drivers, which can be downloaded here:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    or you can remove it from the Device Manager and restart your machine

    or, if that didn't help then you should send your machine to a service partner chartered for an assessment of health/repair of equipment.

    To find the closest, you can check out this site:

    Thanks for all your help.  I solved the problem by turning off the computer, open the computer case and disconnect the cable card 9 in 1 black of the motherboard.  Then I restarted the computer and it re-installed device drivers (message Windows came).  For the first time, card reader devices actually appeared in Device Manager.  Then I turned off the computer, reconnect the cable black and rebooted.  Now everything works fine.

    Hmmm. In my view, this could be a card reader device that needs a compatible driver.

    I didn t find anything in your area download, but in the series A100 PSAA8.

    There is a Flash Media Texas Instruments driver. Download and try to install it.
