Card reader Y530 not recognizing SD card

I have posted about this same problem in November and have not yet repaired. Original message:

"

My new y530 running Vista Home Premium can not read my SD card via the integrated 6-in-1 card reader. As far as I know, the Device Manager is only working for memory stick and xd.

http://img.Photobucket.com/albums/V112/strokingdeaded/DMC.jpg

I tried to install the latest drivers for SD and ThinkVantage updates but did not work. When I hold my card in, it does not appear as a removable storage device and nothing happens.

And technical support does not support y530. »

I read a post since then with someone having the same problem. I tried to do what he said, but it was rather vague and has ended up does not. I've since contacted support and could not get them to give me answer except "send in for repair. I prefer not to do that because I don't like to be without my computer, and if anyone could do it, why can not I? Someone at - it ideas?

I finally got to work. What I did expect a system start let me access the SD drive. He did this once from time to time in unknown conditions. When I was able to access it, I wen to the Device Manager and removed the crib card drivers and reinstalled them. Each subsequent startup was the player available to use.

    Hello MikeLupo,

    Thank you for your message.  Other USB devices work on your computers?  If so, which can exclude the USB port.  This would lead us to a driver problem.  Your computers are up-to-date on Windows Updates?  Execution of Windows updates can load drivers that may correct this problem.  You can also click HERE and enter your SD card reader model and possibly download a driver.

  • Tecra M2 - card reader does not work on Windows 7

    Hi all

    I installed Win 7 on my TECRA M2 and everything worked well at the same time... except for one thing! The SD card reader is not recognized (works well with XP).
    Hint please?

    Thanks in advance

    JP

    Hello!

    The card reader is listed in the device with the yellow exclamation point Manager?

    Normally, I suggest that you should try the Windows Vista driver card reader, but there is no driver on Vista card reader available on the Toshiba site.

    So it seems that you have to live with this problem or you try a driver from another laptop computer card reader

    My HP DV6 is having... issues.  Windows 7.  A little history:

    Recently (2 months ago) he quit the installation of the updates of Windows and would download 3 whenever I stop.  HP support could not help or Fix - It programs work.  Had to restore it to factory default and that solved THIS problem.

    Reading card camera (which I have done before) attempted recently, but he did not read / was not recognized.  Today, tried to launch a DVD, and when it does not start automatically, I discovered that it is not recognized.

    Tried HP Support Assistant, who told me that the model # of the DVD drive that I was using, then proceeded to say there was something wrong with the driver... and he couldn't fix it.

    More?  (Windows Explorer, not Internet) will be often expire or crash...

    I have Norton Internet Security with live update and have yet to have virus problems.

    Any help or questions greatly appreciated!

    To resolve this problem, remove the affected filter drivers. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader does not work

    Help needed please.

    Have a laptop Satellite A300, running vista.

    Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it. The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full.)

    The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.

    I have not installed or don't remember changing of settings or do whatever it is the habit.

    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hello

    Your ad is very confused.
    > Until a few weeks ago everything good, then noticed the cd did you not recognized and disk in it.
    Well, there are several reasons for this; It would be possible that the inserted disc is not completely compatible. Try different drives from different manufacturers.
    It would also be possible that the STRANGE laser lens is dirty. In this case, you might clean using a cotton ball and alcohol tip. In my case it helped.

    > The card reader can't find anything on the card (and Yes, the card was full).
    Did you use a compatible card? The laptop runs these cards:
    8MB - 2 GB SD card
    SDHC - 4 GB card
    -16 MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
    Memory Stick - 8MB - 256MB
    Memory Stick Pro - 256 MB - 2 GB
    MultiMediaCard - 8 MB - 1 GB
    miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32 MB - 2 GB

    I recommend also to format the card and to copy files from computer, and then test this.
    You can also reinstall and update the driver for the card reader controller...

    > The usb scanner is recognized as an external memory card
    Can't believe that you must use a scanner software (must be provided with the scanner) and have to test this unit. By the way; for the most part a scanner driver must be installed in order to use this

  • Satellite C850-B635 and Win7 - card reader does not work

    My laptop came with windows 8 and the card reader was not working
    but I installed windows 7 64-bit, downloaded all the drivers on my laptop, but the card reader does not work now.

    I downloaded a driver called card reader controller, but it did not work as well
    I don't know if there is a problem or there is a driver should I install and I don't know.
    Please help me solve this problem.

    In my windows Device Manager, these devices is not recognized:
    * PCI simple communication controller
    * SM Bus controller
    * Unknown Device

    I tried searching in my page to download drivers on the Toshiba Web site but could not find these
    Please help me make my card reader works again.
    Concerning

    Post edited by: domaking

    For me, the matter is simple, and the reason why the SD card reader is not working, it's just a driver compatible isn't installed.
    My theory seems to be correct, given that the SM bus controller and PCI simple communication controller appear in Device Manager and I suppose that one of these devices belongs to the player/controller of the SD card.

    I think that you should simply install this Realtek card reader controller that I found on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/CARC-20130924161048.zip

    In addition, you must install all the other drivers Win 7 as well as Toshiba tools available by Satellite C850 series.

    Very important is the chipset driver, USB 3.0 driver (Win 7 has this port driver to control the USB 3.0), display driver. etc.

    Not very essential tools are Bulletin Board, product information online Reeltime, etc. This tools additional don t improved the performance of the laptop so its up to you if you want to use these software components

  • TouchSmart HP Envy 15-J104sa memory card reader does not

    I took delivery of a HP Touchsmart from Envy 15 - J104sa, running Windows 8.1 this week and the internal memory card reader does not work. It does not recognize SD cards (I tried more than one) and continues as if nothing has been inserted; Don't display an error message. The cards work on my previous HP laptop. The only way to get the laptop to show an inserted SD card is to run the driver software update (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63415.exe) whenever an SD card is inserted; This must be done with the card in the reader. If the software is running and then the card nothing happens. If the card is ejected and then re-inserted (or a new card inserted) it is not recognized and the process must be restarted and the driver reinstalled even though nothing has changed.

    Can someone please help me with this question or I'll have to go back to the HP laptop. I do a lot of photography so being able to read fast and reliable SD card is extremely important for me; It is not a problem, I was expecting a new laptop all right out of the box.

    Thanks to you all.

    Unfortunately not, updates of driver solves the problem, but an update of the BIOS through the HP helper application seems to have resolved the issue. While I appreciate there were not specific drivers available in my opinion, it is difficult to accept that HP should be able to release a model where they know the equipment are not fully supported by the operating system and in this case does not work.

  • WiFi not recognized on Tecra A3 card

    Hello
    I have a laptop old enough, I think that on registration to this site he said the production date was end of 2005. It is a Tecra A3 series.
    I was wondering if someone could give me some tips for the inside wireless card.

    I tried to download the drivers for the wireless card that says that the Web from Toshiba site, but installing the driver just tells me plug-in card, when it is already.
    I took out the card and its reference number is: PA3362U 1MPC.
    Its not even come in windows XP Device Manager.

    EDIT: Sorry just a few details, it was working at one point. But I had to reformat, since reinstalling windows. I read that it is possible that "the map is not enabled", but it is not recognized in Device Manager?

    So far I have not conscientious, but I recently upgraded my wireless broadband connection and I would like to be able to use the wireless card.
    Anyone could offer me some tips on how to get it operational?

    Thanks for your time in reading.
    Andy.

    Hello

    If your wireless network card is properly inserted, then it should appear in the NICs as unknown device under Device Manager (if the driver has not been installed) or must be properly recognized as Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 b/G Wlan card.

    Yes, PA3362U 1MPC part number seems to belong to the * Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 b / G * Wlan card. I have goggled a bit and found some info that could confirm it.

    So, you should definitely use an Intel Wlan driver for this card to work.

  • Y50-70 - USB Reader and card reader no longer recognized

    I have Lenovo Y50-70 (running Windows 10) and my WD My Passport Ultra external drives are more recognized (they worked fine until 3 days ago). My card reader CF is no longer recognized either. My Samsung Galaxy S5 works well.

    The WD My Passport drives Ultra both my card reader still work with my older ThinkPad, which works in Windows 7. This isn't a disc problem, or a cable problem.

    When I look in devices and printers, the WD My Passport Ultra appears. It has the following warning sign for troubleshooting option. When I troubleshoot it comes back telling me that the driver is not installed. Continuing, he finds the driver, install it and asks to restart the computer. After the computer restarts, the drive still does not appear.

    When you look at the properties of the drive, it says that the driver is not installed and an error code 28 the list.

    You can try to restore to a date (three or four days before the problem) and see if you have the problem solved.

  • Internal SD card reader does not recognize SD card

    I have an internal SD card reader I have ever used before.  I am trying to download pictures from an sd card that I used on my desktop and it works fine, but when I insert in my laptop nothing happens. I went to start / my computer and there is no driver does not list other than my cd/dvd driver. How can I fix it?

    Mini SD cards and adapters are the hassle that I connect
    my phone with a USB cable for uploading photos.

    In any case...

    The card reader should not require no installation. If this is not
    recognized, it can be fried or it is possible, there could be a
    loose connection inside the housing.
