Hey Guys... I have run into a problem I've not seen or read about that I can remember on my Libretto 110CT. The PCMCIA ports have become very flaky. At first I fooled around with drivers etc. Here is how it started... Occasionally after inserting the LAN card it would get TERRIBLE data rates like a modem... a reboot would usually fix it. Also occasionally it would hang when I ejected a flash memory card or insert one. No big deal on either instance. A few weeks ago it started doing this odd behavior of freezing after inserting a card for up to 30 seconds or so, then it would beep as though the card were just inserted and often continue normally. Barely tolerable. A few days ago it started showing FOUR ports sometimes and showing two LAN cards on boot and then windows would complain about having a non-working card etc. Driver problems? Nope... I put this hard drive in my other Libretto and it works just fine in every way. So it isn't the OS. Does anyone know if the ports act like this when they are wearing out or if this is something in the board or is there any known issues with bios versions that might cause this? Maybe a seating issue of the ports themselves? I DID have the computer apart for an over-clocking a while back, but this downward spiral had started before that. Back then it was just an annoyance, but now PCMCIA port functionality has basically failed. Often I can get by with one card in the machine, but insert another and it flakes every time. Any direction would be appreciated. Thank you, John Martin.
