174 If Something Goes Wrong<br />
Resolving a hardware conflict<br />
ExpressCard ® checklist<br />
❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.<br />
❖ Make sure all cables are securely connected.<br />
❖ Occasionally a defective ExpressCard ® slips through quality<br />
control. If another computer with a ExpressCard slot is<br />
available, try the card in that machine. If the card malfunctions<br />
again, it may be defective.<br />
Resolving ExpressCard ® problems<br />
Here are some common problems and their solutions:<br />
The slot appears to be dead. ExpressCards ® that used to work<br />
no longer work.<br />
Check the ExpressCard ® status:<br />
1 Click Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, and<br />
then Device Manager.<br />
2 Double-click the appropriate ExpressCard, which will be listed<br />
under one of the categories shown, for example: Disk drives,<br />
Network adapters, Other, etc.<br />
The operating system displays your ExpressCard’s Properties<br />
dialog box, which contains information about your<br />
ExpressCard configuration and status.<br />
The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert an<br />
ExpressCard ® .<br />
The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict<br />
between the socket and another device in the system. Use Device<br />
Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O base address.<br />
See “Fixing a problem with Device Manager” on page 164 for more<br />
information.<br />
Since all ExpressCards ® share the same socket, each card is not<br />
required to have its own address.<br />
Hot swapping (removing one ExpressCard ® and inserting<br />
another without turning the computer off) fails.<br />
Follow this procedure before you remove an ExpressCard ® :<br />
1 Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Notification<br />
Area.<br />
The Safely Remove Hardware screen appears.
