Tecra M9 - PC Card modem does not

First of all, I fully accept that I'm probably the cause of this problem and that somehow I've disheveled port numbers. But I do not remember how.

I have a PC Card modem that works well for years and still functions on my other PC. But the software does not find the modem now, so when I write, it does not find the modem. But the modem is turned on and the LEDs indicating the signal strength and connection are functioning normally.

I also tried to use an external CD drive in the slot, but it just will not be under tension and is not detected by the system (XP Prof).

Is the best challenge of re - install via CD or recovery is too drastic and I have to make a complete back-up first? Otherwise use the Tosh assist "System Restore" to a date that I know that the modem was working the last?

I can not even find the port of numbering in the manual so that I can re - install the modem on the correct comms port - I guess that Port 1 is the serial connection.

Sorry that I caused this problem myself, but I'd still be very happy if someone could help me, thanks.

Can you please tell us what model of laptop do you have?
Generally best fix for such problems is picking up. After recovering you'll again factory settings and every slot, port, and the device should function properly.
Okay, that's a more radical but also more effective method.

If you will make the decision to do back up all your data because the HARD drive will be formatted and deleted data.

  • 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

  • Tecra A9 SD Card reader does not work!

    3 Tecra A9. All running Windows XP Sp2.
    On the whole, the SD card reader is very intermittent.

    Here's what's happening.
    Displays the card into the slot. Nothing in my computer.
    I go into disk management, there is no additional volumes (checking to see if she tries to use a used drive letter).
    BUT in DEVICE MANAGER there is a new entry, the storage VOLUMES, under the present VOLUME GENERIC is, and in this context, he said "location:"remove the SD card and the entry disappears. SD card "

    Any ideas on how to access this drive?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Firstly, you must ensure that you are using a compatible SD card and supported.
    Access to the Device Manager, then remove the SD card reader in Device Manager list.
    Then use the free application called CCleaner to clean the registry and the system.
    Further you need to download the driver from SD card on the page of the Toshiba driver and should be updated.

    In most cases that the accelerated procedure allows to solve the questions one SD card.

  • In my Tecra M9 SD card reader does not?

    Hi all

    I am running XP SP3 on a Tecra M9 - 12 s.
    If I put my card (1 GB) or SDHC (4 GB) in the SD, the small SD drive blinking momentarily, then nothing.

    If I run the Toshiba SD format utility, it lists no drive in the drop-down menu.

    The Device Manager has in there (v6.0.4069.5) SD host controller driver.
    In Device Manager, when I put an SD card in the slot, a "Secure Digital Storage Device" appears under disk drives, but he got the yellow exclamation mark on it.

    BIOS of the machine is the last - 1.90.

    Tried to fix this for a while now and have sought help, no joy.
    Any ideas?
    All services that need to run I could have stopped, or things on startup (ie. msconfig)?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello

    Well, the SD card reader can handle only SD up to 2 GB and SDHC up to 4GB card.

    After having inserted the SD card I recommend to format using the Toshiba SD memory card formatting utility. This software must be preinstalled on your laptop.

    You also said that the SD host controller driver is the v6.0.4069.5.
    On the European driver Toshiba page, I see the Controller Card Reader driver v1.1.4.2

    Maybe you need to update the driver and should check card again player features!

  • Tecra M1 - Modem does not work (could not open a port)

    I have a problem: after you have reinstalled Windows XP and on my Tecra M1 drivers, modem does not work. It can not diagnose himself - he always comes a warning: "cannot open a port (COM). It can be used by another device or application. I installed the latest Toshiba drivers for the modem, but nothing changes. How can I solve this problem? Looking forward for your advice!
    Best regards.

    Hello

    Have you installed the drivers in the correct order? Not? So do it!
    Have you installed the software or additional devices which could have a bad influence on the modem?
    Check the status of the modem in Device Manager. You don't see any yellow exclamation?

    Try to start the test on the modem within the operating system.
    Check the operation of the Modem under
    Start-> Control Panel-> phone and Modem Options-> Modems tab-> properties-> Diagnostics
    by pressing the 'button interrogate Modem.

    If the information window about the Modem contains a list of COMMANDS (including ATI2, ATI3, ATI4 etc.), then the modem is installed correctly. The ATI5 command ends with the number for the parameters selected regional (for example Germany = 06).
    To change the regional setting please use the Toshiba Internal Modem region Select utility.

  • Satellite A30, Win XP Pro SP3 - modem does not work

    Another problem with this laptop Satellite A30
    The built-in modem does not work.

    * Explanation: *.
    The driver is correct and downloaded from the Toshiba support site.
    The modem is identified as "Toshiba software modem amr" and is installed on com3 port.

    When I click on "diagnosis" and "ask modem" (right labels can be different, since my is an Italian win xp, I just translated the Italian labels), a window pops up saying: it is impossible to open the door (port), the modem is connected to.

    I tried to change the com port of the modem to different numbers, but the problem is the same.
    I don't know if the modem is a real map connected somehow to the main Board or is built right on the main map. It would be the first case, I may change see ad. BTW, the mini slot pci is already occupied by the gigabyte of Wi - Fi, so the modem must be elsewhere.

    This is strange, since I've done at least 2 other win xp pro on this machine facilities, always download and install the appropriate drivers, and the modem has never worked.
    Thank you
    S.

  • Portege R400-103 - 3 G internal modem does not

    Hello

    I have several problems with my 3g modem. Even if everything looks well installed, the modem does not respond. In addition the hibernation, sleep and shutdown cause in an accident.

    -Windows 7 Professional

    * About sleep/wake extended/dhutting down: *.
    When I disable devices that are bound to the modem 3g, this all works, so my conclusion is that this has something to do with the 3g device.

    On the modem does not: *.
    When I go to the properties of the modem, and I ask for a diagnosis (modem to send information on the State of request) a box arrives with a message that the modem has failed. The modem worked, and frankly I don't know what crazy it has stopped working.

    Maybe you guys need more specific information. Please let me know.

  • Satellite A200 - 1 GB: my modem does not work - remote computer is not responding

    My A200 - 1 GB modem does not work correctly. It tries to connect, but at last he said computer remote does not respond. As I noticed it has a modem 56kpbs of "I agree."
    It is shown as Toshiba Software Modem.

    I tried so many times it does not work properly.
    I tried changing the COM ports assigned to several other ports like COM1, COM10 COM, COM 4 ext... same thing happens.

    When I diagnose the modem via the properties of the modem without issues considered.
    Even when I'm component via the modem to a telephone line (I mean as a call) it works fine.
    I mean that he can call on a mobile phone or phone of the Earth.

    A few times he suddnely connects but connected sppedis 24kpbs.

    But the same phone line works correctly with my modem office both as the same as another modem from the laptop.

    It seems that there is a fault on my modem 56 k.
    I tried even uninstall and reinstall, but the issue still exists.

    Can someone help me in this case?

    Hello

    I don t think that the modem would be malfunctions.
    Fact is that if you use the wrong modem configuration, the line may be busy and the modem would not answer.

    I recommend you configure the modem again.
    In programs-> Toshiba-> Networking, you would find the Modem region Select utility that must be configured for the same country.
    Delete the existing profile and create a new!

  • Satellite P200 accidents + message: graphic card driver does not work properly

    Hello

    hope that this issue has not been covered before, but I've owned a Satellite P200 for 3 years now, and this week, it crashes all the time.

    When it started going down he gave me a few messages in the sense of "your graphics card/driver does not work properly and windows will be arrested to avoid damage.

    It has progressed to the point where now when I turn it on, I have vertical lines running down the screen and the screen flashes on and outside. Within 20 seconds, it restores the BSOD - 'there was a problem and windows will be arrested. Error Page_Fault_In_Non_Paged_Area"then stops.

    I ran a system restore but the problem remains.

    I have a feeling that my graphics card is toast. Is this good? Are there any other options to try? Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Matt

    Hello

    Sounds like the GPU problem.
    But try the graphics card driver update.
    Use the most recent driver for your graphics card.

    In addition, clean the fans of portable computers.
    Dust and debris could prevent the cooling fans to turn with the best speed and this could lead to a higher temperature which would lead to overheating.
    Use a jet of compressed air. I also use it and it helps to get rid of dust and debris.

    If this is not enough, then a problem of graphics chip would be possible.

  • TS15g067cl laptop: memory card reader does not recognize the card

    The card reader does not recognize the cards.  It does not have a drive location (example: f drive).   This makes it impossible to veiw the files or photos on any (I tried six different) of my SanDisk SD cards.  I can't find anywhere to downlod corrected card rhe read updates update drivers or BIOS for my system.   I just bought this computer 1 week ago and do not understand why I read in the forums about driver issues of card reader for the last year.  Windows 8.1 has been out for some time.  Why HP would sell these computers without updating the software to make them work as they should?

    Thanks for the info.  Disk management does not show the drive.  The problem was resolved after reloading BIOS, as suggested in another post.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - Modem does not

    I recently reformatted my laptop using recovery discs. The internal modem does not work. It is recognized by the computer, but I get the message "the port that the modem is attacahed to could not be opened." This can be the result of a hardware conflict"when I query the modem in Device Manager. Also, in the Device Manager there is no indication of being recognized COM port. What can I do?

    Hello

    First I recommend you remove the modem from Device Manager, and then reinstall the modem driver.
    It is not necessary to assign any COM ports manually. After installation of the modem driver all have to be configured automatically. Do not forget that you are using the modem driver good for the country where you live.

  • Satellite A30-504 modem does not

    Hi all

    Old old old Satellite A30 504 my father had problems of modem for quite awhile. Here are the symptoms exposed:

    Modem is recognized as "TOSHIBA Software Modem AMR" and classified works correctly. However, when you query the modem, I get the following message:

    + The port that the modem is attached could not be opened. This can be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional. +

    E/s series 2000-207F
    IRQ 7
    (I can't change any of these settings)

    Needless to say that the modem does not work.

    Has anyone ever met such a problem before? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I really don't want to get a PCMCIA modem for this laptop, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!
