NW-E003 and USB Related Issue

[dragulagu]

Recently I managed to screw up all my usb ports of my laptop, so i bought a pcmiaa card with 4 usb slots on it to put in my pci-slot of my laptop. Everything works fine, exept one thing: my nw-e003. When i put it in one of the usb slots of the pcmiaa card, my laptop(windows xp pro) just completely blocks, i can't move the mouse or anything, it just blocks (pbb cuz the cpu is in a loop). Anyway, does someone know the solution to that? Or seen this problem before, cause now I cant put any new music on my player .

problem solved

for anyone who will encounter the same problem: change the usb power setting on your player from 500ma to 100ma

Now,It will take more time to charge as well .

but i fear thats the only solution for now and still, the nw-e00x reloads incredibly fast

Dragulagu, glad to hear that it works now. Is the problem still there if you now switch back to 500mA mode?

there will be a problem, it's because the PCMCIA cards do not get enough power, i think their current rating is lower than USB...

Well actually when I read the problem that was the first thing I thought...

Power has no relationship with access time on the device or Windows...the only negative effect will be slower battery charge and nothing else.
