Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work
Help needed please.
Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.
Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)
The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.
I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
Hello
Your ad is very confused.
> Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.
> The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
8MB - 2 GB SD card
SDHC - 4 GB card
-16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB
I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...
> The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

Desire x 2 Dock USB and card SD does not work
The USB port on the left in my dock Envy keyboard x 2 has stopped working. Whenever I anchor the portion of the Tablet for the keyboard, I see an error message "USB device" unrecognized in the taskbar. In addition, displays an 'unknown device' Device Manager, listed under the key "other devices."
Also note the card SD of Dock is doesn't work the same way. Some cards are recognized so that in the past he appeard as USB/removable disk device.
I tried to reinstall Windows, reinstall all the packages in a driver from the web, etc. Nothing works. A few times, I was able to use the port or card reader after plugging in the tablet. However, they invariably become non-functional the next time I log out/dock the tablet or restart the system.
I am quite experienced professional Windows support with thousands of hours of creation of hardware/software solutions around Microsoft platform. However, I am at a loss as to why I can't get this device to be recognized. All other Dock - right USB, HDMI output, keyboard and trackpad devices - work. The problem seems related specifically to the left and some hub USB root supports it and the SD card reader.
FYI, I'm a stranger for months, making it virtually impossible to send the diagnostic/repair unit. I hope that there is a hotfix for that and that someone who reads this will have a suggestion on how to proceed.
Thanks in advance!

Well, in a bizarre resolution to the issue, the dock has decided to start working again. Don't know what I did, but I suspect it had something to do with the UEFI settings stored in the CMOS. I searched update utility for BIOS Insyde Software documentation after witnessing of the docking station to return to life temporarily after re-flashing the BIOS. I found a setting in the platform.ini - ClearCMOS file - and I flipped it to '1' and re-flashed to see what would happen.
Nothing changed immediately, however, the next day I was invited by Windows Update to download the latest definitions for Windows Defender. When he was done, he prompted me to restart, I found strange as the Defender updates don't usually require a reboot. Then I noticed the "Windows Update" start screen, while the unit has been reset, indicating something was more than just a simple refresh definitions Defender.
Yet, I do not think anything of it and continued by usual until I noticed something weird: when I re-docked the Tablet I heard the familiar "donk doink, dink" tones. I did a double-take to make sure that nothing not hanging off one, working USB port (right side - it was empty) and then frantically connected to see what was going on a. To my surprise, the USB error message was gone and I could see once more the content of my 64GB SD card into the slot in the dock.
I took a screenshot of the Device Manager just to have a reference of work to see how it * should * look, then held my breath and detached from the tablet. I waited the Plug & Play tones, which indicates the docking drivers, had unloaded, checked device (no sign of the USB hub) Manager, hold for a count of ten and prayed while re-docking of the tablet. Yet once, the PnP tones shot and Explorer opens a window on my SD card.
Still not convinced that the "fix" would stick, I took the next step and restarted the machine. Again, everything was present when the system is back to the top and the procedure of disconnecting/dock worked as expected. My last test was completely power off the unit, wait for half an hour and then restart. Still works. In a last time, I checked the system event log to see what might have been for this mysterious Windows Update. The entrance to update itself mentioned only the definitions of Defender; However, I found several messages from the Installer service talks about the different status updates of Windows on "Absent". Very strange.
Anyway, it's been 36 hours and I continue to check to make sure that the dock is still working. So far so good. I'll feel better as soon as I spend the weekend, but for now I think that the problem is resolved.
As for what caused, and also what might have finally fixed, I guess this will remain a mystery. Could Defender blocked a significant update that was lit green subsequently after the update of definition? Or maybe my tweaking of the BIOS update utility. Trigger files INI Windows re-installation of some critical updates?
Who knows? And frankly, who cares? I'm just glad to have my dock that is doomed to return!

Satellite C850-B635 and Win7 - card reader does not work
My laptop came with windows 8 and the card reader was not working
but I installed windows 7 64-bit, downloaded all the drivers on my laptop, but the card reader does not work now.I downloaded a driver called card reader controller, but it did not work as well
I don't know if there is a problem or there is a driver should I install and I don't know.
Please help me solve this problem.In my windows Device Manager, these devices is not recognized:
* PCI simple communication controller
* SM Bus controller
* Unknown DeviceI tried searching in my page to download drivers on the Toshiba Web site but could not find these
Please help me make my card reader works again.
ConcerningPost edited by: domaking
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.zipIn 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

USB ports, CD/DVD player, and Mike just does not work
So I'm pretty sure that these things are happening at the same time, although there are risks my trying to troubleshoot the USB ports have contributed to the failure of the microphone (internal and will not capture sound) and cd/dvd drive (not open). Perhaps? It is true that I know little about these kinds of things, but I'm much less following the indications which is what I did to try to tackle the problem of USB port, which was the first I noticed. I followed all the advice I could find online for troubleshooting when all usb ports do not respond. I used Device Manager to disable in its regular and safe mode. I also uninstalled them all in both modes (even if they reinstall until I'm able to restart). I unplugged and wait 5, 10, 15 min etc. There was a difficulty mentioned about watching the. Mine and INF files do not contain the mentioned error. I'm tempted to all my files backup and restore the computer to factory settings, especially now that the CD/DVD player and the micro does not work. This would solve the problem? If these things are related? Could even restore settings because I can't have in the cd/dvd drive? It's a dell inspiron 1721, and it crushed while you restart for almost a whole day just all the time I've began to notice all these malfunctions. I really appreciate any guidance!
Good so I solved all of these problems. I don't know what did the trick, but when I went back in the BIOS to re - activate the ports they have worked!

Tecra 9000: SD card reader does not work with XP
I've made some progress on this issue, it seems that Cardbus devices cannot share IRQS, although the main problem is that FFDFB200-FFDFB3FF memory address is shared by the SD card controller and device memory SD card. Unless we find a way to edit the registry to resolve this conflict of memory, the simple answer is that the SD card reader does not work under XP.
I think that it would take a major surgery of the register or re-writing of drivers to move the address of memory used by the SD card device, I always work on this for now.
Can someone support Toshiba or Toshiba Marketing explain to me why my Tecra T9100 has a "Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000" sticker on it, when Toshiba does fully support XP on the 9000 series?

Hi David
Unfortunately, I n t think that you will find here a Toshiba marketing person or other departments. It is ONLY a user to user forum.
What you say, it is simply NOT true.
The Tecra 9000 was delivered with 3 different OS.
It was delivered with Windows XP Pro, W2k and Win98. You can order all the images of this Toshiba home Toshiba service partner. That's why Tecra 9000 does support Windows XP!
Tecra 9100 has been bundled with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and also supports Windows XP!Of course, there are different models with a different hardware configuration, but all supports Windows XP.
I put t know why you get this error message or why you cannot use the SD card, but I guess you don t use the image of Toshiba. That's why you installed your operating system isn't properly. Because you are a newbie you don t know the Toshiba all the driver installation must be done in the right order and all Microsoft QFEs must be installed also.
As you can see you must pay attention to many important things if you want to manually install the operating system.
Good day
