Hi gbara!

Welcome to Club VAIO Forum.

Your PBMCIA card should get the correct voltage. The slot can supply 3.3 volts or 5 volts depending on the needs of card inserted.

Have you got the latest software for your card? Does Device Manager say that the card is working properly?

You could try going to Device Manager, select your PCMCIA device and uncheck the box that says "Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" - might help!
