So I just got this slightly used (6-months) laptop from my dad's company. I havenb't had too many problems with it, other than it having only a USB 1 port on it. So, needing a USB2 and Firewire port, I bought a PCMCIA card that combines the two off of ebay.
The card came in the mail, and when I plugged it in, my computer let me know right away that everything was in order. I now have two USB ports, and two Firewire ports in my device manager, and it tells me that they're running fine.
However, whenever I plug anything into the new ports, nothing happens. It's like it doesn't even recognize that I did so. The power doesn't even come on in the device. It just sits there.
It came with a CD full of drivers, but I was told that Windows XP should be fine without them. Since it was EBay, it didn't come with a manual, and there's no brand name on it AT ALL. I mean nothing on the card or the box. It does say ATI on it.
I'm running a Dell Latitude C610 notebook. Does anyone know what I should do?
