Dead SDIO slot?

[skanky]

Hi.

I have tried to make two different WiFi SDIO cards work in my Qtek S100 now with no success despite following all advice on these forums and trying many different drivers etc.

My suspicion is that my S100 has a hardware fault and cannot read from the SDIO slot (although MMC cards work fine).

Does anyone know whether there is a way of checking this hypothesis?

Cheers,
Tom

Solved it!

The extra pin that SDIO uses had got pushed down. Use of cocktail stick to bend it back again solved the problem...

The answer to "is there an SDIO test" is yes - insert the card when the device is on standby. If the screen lights up, it's seeing the card.

Hmm... I sort of have the same problem. I got my new Wifi card today (PocketGear, or Spected mini card) and used it for 10 minutes. I took it out to replace my SD card, the screen lit up but nothing is recognising. Storage card doesn't appear and phone things nothing's connected when the Wifi card is in. Not good!
I'll check the pins when I get home, but since the screen is lighting up I'm not sure about that,

Any ideas, people?

Ok, well it seems it's fixed. 3 hard resets in 10 minutes fixed the issue! Good ole Microsoft, making nice and sturdy operating systems!
