(Redirected) Inspiron 15 3552 SD card reader not working not

I bought a brand new Inspiron 15 3552. Whenever I put an SD card in the SD slot, nothing happens. The computer does not recognize the device. Also, my brother bought an Inspiron 15 3552 and it is having the same problem. Both computers are saying that the drive works properly. Someone knows how to fix this? Thank you.

  • Inspiron 17 7000: SD card reader not working not

    I took delivery of the sleek Inspiron about two weeks ago and have spent a good part of this time everything set up (& upgrade to Windows 10). Not like the Pentium/WinXP is?

    Yet, almost done now. Except the SD card reader does not work. I've updated all the drivers - I'm pretty sure (!) because the Dell system analysis doesn't seem to detect the drivers, system - and have updated the driver SD SD (Realtek) more than card reader once. It shows as "Successful Installation", or similar.

    However, there is no SD card reader in the device manage, but there is a unknown device in "PCI Slot 3". I uninstalled it but reinstalls it every reboot in "Other devices" as "Unknown". I also tried updating the driver, but it does not work.

    I'm guessing that this stranger is the SD card reader. There is no another entry in to the SD card reader device manager.

    Any help would be appreciated,

    Thank you

    just found this in another blog asking charleshking who solved a problem of SD card

    Just in case where this assistance no matter who, or in the case where Dell Tech Support want to scream 'NO!', I tracked own Realtek driver for this card reader built in, and it seems to work fine for me (win 10 Home):

    Realtek controller card drivers

    The forum software is antics with my link, it may not be clickable. Another way to find the driver file: www [point] realtek [dot] com [dot] tw-> Downloads-> computer peripheral ICs - > Card Reader Solutions-->--> software card reader controllers

    Hope that helps. Charlie Bravo

    Work does'nt drive SD card, no error message.

    Hello

    If you can not get the card reader to work, it can be replaced and/or an external card reader is not expensive.

    They go bad sometimes. Try these:

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 when you start then look at the screen - make sure that the USB port is enabled.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Control Panel - device - hard drives - SD card Manager or similar - double click - Driver tab - click on update drivers (this will likely do nothing that MS is far behind the certification of drivers) then right clicked UNINSTALL.

    Now get to the USB controllers - right click - UNINSTALL everything in the category at the moment, EXCEPT the category itself - REBOOT. This will refresh the USB driver stack.

    Here is the similar procedure under XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Do 1 above.

    USBDeview is a small utility that lists all USB devices currently connected to your computer, as well as all USB devices that you previously used. Run Options and check the 1st three choices to see if one is there. You can remove all instances of the drive and restart again.

    Start - type in search box - Windows disk - find Windows Disk Management on the list at the top - right click - RUN AS ADMIN search to see if there is a drive letter assigned or a conflict.

    Check with the manufacturer of your system for the updated drivers - some card readers to do not use the windows drivers.

  • USB internal card reader not detected by Windows 7 Pro 64

    The return of the story is this: my Dell Inspiron 546 recently dropped when the HARD drive failed terminally.  "Rather than replace the HD, I opted for the upgrade of ' with a refurbished desktop computer.  I'm done with a Dell Optiplex 760 MT, which I am very happy with.  He has a new 128 GB SSD mounted and I have a new 1 to Seagate Barracuda disk HARD ready to go in it, when I get a longer SATA data cable for it.

    In any case, I got a few pieces off the Inspiron to go in the Optiplex: memory card reader 2-4 GB of RAM, DVD - RW and media 3.5 "internal.  The RAM of works well (taking the system to a total of 6 GB).  The DVD - RW works fine (once I activated the SATA port in the BIOS).  However, the card reader does nothing.

    I plugged into a vacant USB connector on the motherboard, which has been marked something like "INT USB".  However, Windows doesn't see it, and it does not show in the Device Manager.  It's as if she is not there at all (no lights, nothing).

    This card reader worked fine on the Inspiron (which was an AMD Athlon 64 machine, but running Windows 7 it 32 b).

    Any ideas?  I had a glance through the BIOS and can't see anything obvious.  I assumed that being a USB device, it would just spring to life, but I do not.

    The Optiplex has the following important elements:

    Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GHz (E8400)

    Intel Q43 chipset

    Transcend SSD 128 GB

    6 GB of RAM (2 x 1 + 2 x 2)

    (HD 3000 memory) integrated Intel graphics card

    DVD - ROM (standard adjustment)

    DVD - RW (from the Inspiron).

    The fixed.

    First, to use the USB header, you should disable the "floppy" in the BIOS.  I tried this but it didn't work.  However, States manual service, you should disable the front disk to install the player, so I unplugged the drive, put under tension, then stopped again, plugged in and restarted.  I also disconnected and re connected the cable at the end of the drive.

    According to these fixed it, I don't know, but now it's the hunky dory, seen in the maps of Manager and reading of the device as it should.

    I hope that you have used the SD supported card sizes. As far as I know not all SD cards are recognized and supported because of the size.

  • SD card reader not working not Satellite A305 series

    I have a laptop A305 series. It's only 6 weeks and I bought it new.

    The sd card reader worked fine up until today.
    It no longer works. Device Manager shows that it is disabled.
    I tried to enable it, but it says that Windows cannot enable it. I tried to uninstall and restart.

    The computer finds the device and reinstalled but it is always disabled and will not work.

    Any ideas what could be wrong? It is running Vista by the way.

    Thank you!

    > It doesn't work anymore. Device Manager shows that it is disabled.
    > I tried to enable it, but it says that Windows cannot enable it. I tried to uninstall and restart.

    Go to Device Manager, even once, mark SD card controller and remove it from the list of devices.
    Then restart the laptop and wait that Windows has recognized this new device.
    Then check if the SD card controller is enabled or disabled.

    Good luck

    It is always problematic for everything works fine when the old notebook use not supported and the more recent operating system.

    P200 works perfectly with Win7, so what you can try is to use Win7 driver. I put t know if you have tested already. In any case, if the laptop works well in general I think you can live without SD card reader.
