PCMCIA USB 2.0 cardbus adaptopr on VAIO PCG-FX140 not working
well as the topic says, i've been trying to make this work, but still no luck..
i have a vaio pcg-fx140 (it says fx120 on my comp properties) and i recently bought a NO BRAND (.... sorry low budget) pcmcia usb 2 adaptop.... here are the simptoms:
it is installed correctly.... (already checked via the instruction on the cd that came with it)
the computer DOES detect it
BUT... when i plug in something.... (anything) it just freezes, i have to pop out the card to make my laptop work again (no reboot)...
already checked various posts, one about unchecking "enable to save power.... " on the usb port... but still no luck, i thought it was the card but i already checked it on another computer (toshiba cdt 1695) and it worked fine...
i've been searching all over this threads and i hope someone helps me...
i already :
updated the BIOS (from the sony vaio page)
uninstalled/installed again
unchecked the "allow to save power... " on the usb ports .. or something like that...
i'm stuck...
any help is appreciated...
btw i pluged in a usb flash disk, and a usb external hard drive, neither work...

Thanks for letting us know the fix kicsrules... usb cardbus adaptors can be a royal pain in some laptops.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
