HSDPA Card bunging out?

[redarrow]

This morning my card was all OK I was surfing like normal...

A while later I "wake" my laptop from "sleep" and suddenly both leds on the card are blinking very fast non-stop
Anyone know what this means? It won't connect or anything now...
I even tried rebooting and ejecting - reinserting the card a couple of times... same problem

Any clever ideas / suggestions ?

Thanks

Found some laptops sometimes behave strangely when coming out of power save.

Have you tried to completely drop the power to your laptop (even to the point of removing the battery)?

If this still does not help, you might need to test on another system or try another card. Are you close to a walk-in center?

I have used the sleep mode numerous times before...
Never had a problem with the datacard on wakeup before (in the 2 weeks or so I've had it)
The only problem I ever get is the display not coming up till I pull some tricks to get it on - but I know thats on account of Linux not properly supporting my graphic chipset..

I have tried that now... makes no difference

I only have one card and one laptop unfortunately
I did try a couple of other sim cards though.. so the problem can't be there..

No service centers nearby...
I'll probably be able to get to one tomorrow - if I haven't got it right by then..

btw.. do the very rapid flashes on both leds actually mean anything?

Need to check for you.

Took the card back to the dealer today.. they sent me off to Vodashop.. who concluded that they'll need to replace the card.. but they're out of stock
So now I just need to wait till they get back to me...
