REQUEST OF TECH SUPPORT and/or RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization)

A. Tech Support and/or RMA for PCMCIA card readers ONLY:

Before you request tech support and/or RMA, please read the following notes.

1. The PCI universal PC card readers (model PCD-xxxxx) are Windows XP & Vista compliant. You should not install software driver on the diskette for them under Windows XP. Just install the hardware and reboot your PC. Your PC should automatically find the reader and configure the driver for it. If you already installed the driver on the diskette or CD, be sure to remove it completely, otherwise, the readers will not work under Win XP.

2. For PCD-RP-xxxE card readers, please click here for updated installation procedures. Under Windows 2000, you must set up driver first and then plug device into PCI socket of motherboard. To install under Windows XP, please do not install the driver on the diskette; just use Windows XP native driver.

3. For PCD-202CS, PCD-220S, PCD-RP-xxxS or PCD-TP-xxxS card readers using Softtex driver, if you are using ver 1.0 driver under Win 2000, your system may halt after the installation. You need to change an updated ver. 1.1 or 1.3 driver. Please click here and fill out the the form and make sure you spell out that you are requesting the new Softtex driver in the comment box.

5. Some motherboards (even for new PCs) need to have the BIOS upgraded in order to have their USB ports and PCI slots working properly. We strongly suggest that you upgrade the BIOS if you encountered installation problem.

6. If you believe your reader was installed successfully (please verify this in the Control Panel/Device Manager on your PC) but your PC can not detect the insertion of a PC card or can not access the card, your PC may be out of system resources. Please do the following steps.
    a. Remove a couple unnecessary peripherals from your PC to release the resources.
    b. If the above step still did not do it, please upgrade your motherboard's BOIS.
    c. If you are using an SRAM or a linear flash card, please go to step 7 below.

7.ISA and PCI PC card readers will support the SRAM and linear flash cards under Windows. You need a Windows driver in order to access the cards. To request a driver, please go to here.
