PC Card checklist
❖ Make sure the card is inserted properly into the slot.
See “Using PC Cards” on page 98 for information about
how to insert PC Cards.
❖ 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.
Resolving PC Card problems
Here are some common problems and their solutions:
The slots appear to be dead. PC Cards that used to work no
longer work.

2 Click My Computer icon with the secondary button, then
click Properties.
The System Properties dialog box appears.
3 Click the Hardware tab.
4 Click the Device Manager button.
5 Double-click the PCMCIA adapter.
6 Double-click the appropriate PC Card.
The operating system displays your PC Card’s Properties
dialog box, which contains information about your PC
Card configuration and status.
