PC Card problems
PC Card checklist
❖
Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See “Using PC Cards” in the electronic user’s guide.
❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.
❖ Occasionally a defective PC Card slips through quality control. If
another PCMCIA-equipped computer is available, try the card in that
machine. If the card malfunctions again, it may be defective.
