    PCMCIA slot fillers

    The slot filler for the PCMCIA slot on my Toshiba Portege R200 is missing, so I have this gaping hole on that side of the laptop. What should I fill the hole with?
    I was looking for blanking pieces but they don't exist on ebay. so i was thinking... a cheap SD card reader or the like should do the trick right?

      I can send you one? Would a dell one work?

      Edit: crap, you live in Australia.

                  useful, till it burns out. those things suck. i would't use them in a laptop i cared about.

                  plus, DX knowingly sells counterfeit caps, so I personally boycott them.

                      The 5$ compact flash to pcmcia is a passive device, nothing burnable inside - so if you don't use it, it's just like a basic plastic cover.

                      I can understand the boycott but take the items above as suggestions and hit the ebay.

                              that means a port-to port adapter, with no circuitry other than wires and 2 ports. CF and pcmcia use the same signaling.

                                  Well I managed to find Toshiba R100 slot fillers. I have an R200 though. But looking at the images, they are exactly the same in size and shape... only difference is that one is black (R100) and the other is grey (R200). $18 will have to cut it. :S

                                      $18 for a piece of plastic?

                                      See above, you can add two USB ports or a CF slot for less than half the price.

                                          Trying to troubleshoot DDR4 SODIMM slot with slot tester

                                          Hi folks!
                                          I have some kind of memory problem on Lenovo laptop. I was initially able to install windows after several tries since the laptop did freeze in middle of those attempts.
                                          Eventually I discovered that it was related to moving the laptop.
                                          Later on it even stopped booting unless I pressed around the memory slot. (no keyboard LEDs only power button responds)
                                          If I remove the RAM I get the beeps that RAM is missing. Inserting the RAM there is silence and it will not boot most of the time. No picture.

                                          I removed the board got one of those memory slot testers...

                                          Lenovo Ideapad 3 15IIL05 working perfectly with onboard RAM but it doesn't start when I add a memory into the RAM slot

                                          Hey guys!

                                          I don't know the solution to this problem, but this is definitely not unique and I would like to figure out the solution to fix these in the future.

                                          I have two identical Lenovo Ideapad 3 15IIL05 laptops with integrated 4GB DDR4 memory. Both work perfectly with that. BUT... if I add any extra memory to the single RAM slot, it never gives a picture. I thought the RAM slot pins would be the problem but no, all pins are solid (I checked them under the microscope). The RAM in the slot has 1.2V, so the voltage is present on the module. I flashed the latest BIOS, so
                                          ...

                                          Faulty memory slot on Tekram Slot 1 motherboard
                                          by Byte_76
                                          I have a Tekram P6PRO-A5 Rev. 1.01 which has an issue with one of the memory slots and with the floppy port.

                                          When a memory module is installed into the slot which is closest to the north bridge, the board will beep and won't post. The same memory module works in the two remaining slots.

                                          Also, the floppy drive does not work regardless of bios settings.

                                          Please help me to identify the possible cause of the faulty memory slot and the floppy drive port as well.

                                          I have examined the board under my digital microscope and did not find any broken traces....

                                          Board as written in description was stuck at VGA LED. common Problem wit these type of bords.... tried all the "standard stuff" like resettin... reseatin.... found out the LED Controller MCU1 = IT8295FN-56A geting burning hot under the last PCI Slot.. now i desoldered it cause there were only 18 ohms at the caps arround.... another aorus x470 in working condition with similar part and nearly same layout had arround 280 ohms...

                                          my question is: why doesnt the board start know without this chip.... worked myself through the boardview but i can´t understand...
