Vostro1700 problem with Memory Stick adapter

Hi, I just bought 2 vostro1700, and I have an issue. Card reader works fine with SD that I tested, but if I use a Memory Stick adapter (for use with an M2 memory card), it doesn´t work. I haven´t any original memory stick for test.

Problem is that when I install, MS doesn´t appear, but if I push a bit the card to in, then, OS detects it and works fine. It seems how if the card doesn´t touch with the "contact surface" of the reader



My doubt is that, it does the same with two vostro1700. Maybe a defective adapter? (original from sony). Card reader isn´t compatible with adapters?



thanks

 

Just tried my M2 Adaptor with my 1700 Card Reader and it worked no problem.
Sounds like it's just not sitting in the reader properly and may be a problem with the mechanics of the reader.

 

Hi and thanks¡
It could be, but... same fail with two identical vostro1700?

this is my m2 adaptor. maybe... some problem with it? I´ll try test other or a memory stick

thanks

Yup - I'm using the same adaptor.

If you're seeing the same problem with 2 Vostro 1700's then it's your adaptor thats causing the problem I'd guess.

 

Hi, problem solved.
Problem was "quality" from adaptor. On the contact metal surface, the body-plastic wasn´t flat with contact area, and reader can´t touch. I touch these areas with a mini flat screwdriver, and then Vostro reads it perfectly¡

thanks to all.
