Hi everyone. I'm new here and posting with a problem.Can anybody help me?

When I boot up my Toshiba A75-s209 laptop I get a message showing
"Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller in Slot 03 Bus:01, Device:0B, Function:00".
The computer will then only start in safe mode.

I have tried system restore to a previous time no avail.

I have removed the network card from device manager and let windows redetect it on reboot, but the computer freezes as soon as windows detects it.

If I disable the network controller and then restart, the message still shows, but I can boot in normal mode and everything works apart from no network. If I then enable the network controller the computer immediately freezes.

The computer is 10 months old and this problem started for no reason (no knocks or drops) nor have I added hardware or software recently, I see on a web search other people with the problem but none have posted the solution.

Any assistance greatly appreciated

Steve
 
hungheavy were did you buy this laptop from?

also the network adaptor is broken, no software will fix it.
 
Bought at J&R in New York City Jan 2005.

Sent to Toshiba in Madrid for power socket repair in September. Worked for a while but same power supply fault reappeared.

Sent to Toshiba repair in Orlando in November. The very helpful repairman said power supply was a known issue with this model, as was a problem with the top cover. He swapped out both parts, and it worked perfectly till 2 days ago.

If the network adapter is broken then I take it that is another trip to the repair shop. I live in Spain and find Tosiba madrid not well informed, not to mention they make me pay €60 shipping costs
 
get a full refund (while still in warranty) and get a better model
 
That sounds sensible!

Do I claim from the retailer or Toshiba?

If Toshiba, would I need to send it back to the U.S.A.?

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
