HPmodel 2000 notebook SD socket won't respond

Pls check if the Card is inserted the right way fully into the socket , if the card reader has been enabled , the driver for the card reader has been installed , if the card is working by connecting it on another computer .

Power down your Toshiba Satellite.

Unplug it from the wall.

Turn the machine over and remove the battery.

Locate the RAM compartment cover, which is usually located somewhere in the middle of the underside, and is about 4-by-4 inches.

Unscrew the RAM cover screw with a Phillips screwdriver and set aside.

Ground yourself by touching a metal object.

This will release any static electricity built up in your body, which can harm computer chips and components.

You can also use an anti-static wristband while you are working.

Remove RAM modules if needed.

This is most likely if you are upgrading the present RAM capacity with a larger RAM chip.

Press your fingers on the clips on either side of the chip to pop it out of the socket.

Pull the chip out of the RAM compartment, holding it by the sides of the circuit board rather than on the chip.

Insert the new RAM module into the socket. Align the RAM module so that the notch lines up with the tab on the side of the socket.

Gently lower the module into the socket. Press into place with your fingers.

Replace the RAM compartment cover. Insert the screw and tighten.

Replace the battery and secure with the lock.

Plug the Toshiba Satellite laptop back in and power up the system.

The upgraded RAM should be automatically recognized.

hope this helps

HOW TO INSTALL MEMORY UPGRADE TOSHIBA SATELLITE LAPTOP
not sure if this is the right laptop

Try inserting the memory card into an USB card reader and then plug it into a different computer. If this computer does not detect the memory card then the memory card is probably faulty.

If you notebook does not have a built-in SD card reader, you can purchase an USB SD/memory card reader and connect it to the notebook's USB port.
When the SD card is inserted into the USB card reader the notebook will see the SD card as an external storage device. You can then copy files off this SD card to your notebook etc.

I have done the same update to version 230 ASUS A9RP and bricked the Notebook. Nothing worked not even the power key or the battery charging. My conclusion was that the flash is also used before powering up to load a program into the devices that read keys or charge batteries. I HAVE SOLVED the problem writing bios 280, by taking out the chip 39vf040 4MBit Flash and rewrite it in writer I have constructed for it. Chip can be taken out with a hot air device , that exists in the GSM repair shops also. A socket (~0.5 Euro) can be places in the position of the chip. If you need help I offer my assistance to guide you or even send you a written chip (~1.5 EURO) on the mail ,

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot change the OS on that notebook as it is an embeded system. The Gsystem is burned into a chip on the mother board and the only way at present is to reprogram a like chip and solder it in place after de-soldering the old chip. Then you would have to buy another embeded system and learn to program an EEprom chip.

The chip may not be inserted correctly. You can tell by seeing or not seeing SD symbol in the view screen. Try removing the SD card. Go through the memory and see if the pictures were saved to the camera or to the card. If the pictures were saved to the camera, turn off the camera and re-insert the card. See if the cards responds by showing more pictures available for taking and move the pictures to the card. If the pictures were saved to the card, then the card may need to replaced.

Check if the device is working
Check if you see the device in your computer ("removable disk")
Try using another SD Card
If not working

Try reinstalling the driver and software to your SD reader.
Uninstall first before reinstall it.

You can get the driver and software at your laptop manufacturer website

The K800i does not use micro SD memory chips, it uses memory stick M2

The V3m has an inherent flaw with the Sd Micro Memory Card. Installing the card, which fits extremely tight can damage the electrical contacts in the micro chip socket. This can result in low battery life due to a short to metal chassis of phone and not being able to communicate properly with memory chip. I had my first Razr V3m replaced by Sprint after only 2 days of ownership.When I got my new phone I carefully filed the tab on the Sd Micro Chip so insertion and extraction is much easier.
