If Something Goes Wrong Resolving a hardware conflict 171 The computer stops working (hangs) when you insert an ExpressCard®. The problem may be caused by an I/O (input/output) conflict between the socket and another device in the system. Use Device Manager to make sure each device has its own I/O base address. See "Fixing a problem with Device Manager" on page 161 for more information. Since all ExpressCards® share the same socket, each card is not required to have its own address. Hot swapping (removing one ExpressCard® and inserting another without turning the computer off) fails. Follow this procedure before you remove an ExpressCard®: 1 Click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Notification Area. The Safely Remove Hardware screen appears. 2 Click Safely remove for the device you want to swap. 3 Select the item you wish to remove and click OK. 4 Remove the device when told it is safe to do so. Never swap modules when the computer is in Hibernation or Sleep mode. This is known as "warm swapping" and is not supported. For more information on Hibernation and Sleep modes see "Hibernation mode" on page 66 and "Sleep mode" on page 67. The system does not recognize your ExpressCard®. Refer to the ExpressCard® documentation. Removing a malfunctioning card and reinstalling it can correct many problems. An ExpressCard® error occurs. Reinsert the card to make sure it is properly connected. If the card is attached to an external device, check that the connection is secure. Refer to the card's documentation, which should contain a troubleshooting section.
