Just bought a new N220 and after a labourious setup I’m very happy – BUT
There is a persistent error in device manager that lists under “OTHER” a
Multimedia controller with a yellow warning triangle.
Updating the device driver doesn’t work .
Samsung update has been run but the error is still there.
Searched the Samsung site but no luck.
Display,Sound,Lan,Wireless,internet all working OK.
However,USB sticks not recognised.Is there a fix or have I bought a dud unit ?
I’d really appreciate some help.
ThanksWelcome to the forum Corwin,
You could try deleting the device completely, then on a restart Windows should reinstall with the correct driver.
If all logic fails then try an F4 at boot to return to how you originally set up your netbook.
Corwin – Welcome to the forum
To add to the good advice above, if you have a UK N220 it could be missing the Broadcom Crystal HD card driver, if it is not listed in Device Manager.
Hope this helps
Thanks for the replies.
-Tonytb- I’ve tried removing and rebooting but it doesn’t work.Its also my initial setup so I have
nowhere to restore to !Jeepers01- Although some Broadcomm stuff is listed in device manager it seems to be bluetooth stuff and I can find no reference to Broadcomm Crystal HD (it is a UK N220), I can’t find the driver on
the Samsung site – do you have a link to a driver download ?Here’s hoping.
.
YES! YES! YES!
Hats off to Jeepers01 for the hint as to what the mystery controller might be.
Found the Broadcom site http://www.broadcom.com/support/crystal_hd/ and downloaded the crystalhd_3.3.0,zip file. From this extracted the 32 bit version folder crystalHD_3.3.0.32.
Run setup found inside this folder.No notification from Windows after setup finishes but problem fixed.
Thanks to all responders.I do wonder why the problem occured during an essentially automated setup process and why
the drivers don’t appear to be listed on the Samsung site ?Many thanks again.
CorwinCorwin – Your welcome, glad it’s all sorted now 🙂
Now you have the HD working you might be interested in this thread.
Hope this helps
