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!

Amanda

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

    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.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

    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.

  • Satellite P200 - SD card reader not working not not running Win 8

    I upgraded my satellite P200 with windows 8, and the SD card reader does not work.

    Anyone know of a fix.

    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.

  • Satellite 2410-603 - SD card reader not working not

    My card SD Berlkin broken and I replaced it with a Netgear WG511 v2 which also does not work, now I wonder, is the map which is broken or the card reader?

    Any ideas would be great, thanks.

    Hello

    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.
    But of course, you must follow the advice of darkmatterman; remove the SD card controller device manager form, restart the computer and reinstall the drivers needed.

  • SD card reader not working not

    My SD card on my HP Pavilion dv6-7014nr player no longer works. It was fine a couple of days, when I use it to transfer photos from my camera, SD card, but now, when I try to put my phone microSD (with adapter) is not how until in my computer (and the noise is not heard). I tried another microSD and it is not recognized or the other.

    I checked the driver in Device Manager and as far as I can tell, it is up-to-date.

    Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

    Try reinstalling the SD Realtek card reader driver. You can do this via the Recovery Manager.

    It would have helped a little if you had posted the installed operating system.

  • SD card reader not working do not (Code 22)

    Hello when I insert the SD card in my SD card on T420 slot I see "Ricoh SD Disk Device" in Manager devices, but with the small icon with the arrow down. When I opened the properties I see "device is disabled." (Code 22) ». When I click on allow, nothing changes the State. The real driver comes Microsoft 21.6.2006 version 6.1.7600.16385. I tried to download the latest drivers Lenovo 13 may 2012, installation seemed fine, but after a reboot, the driver remains same as before. I even tried manual installation, but the driver Lenovo was rejected by saying that it is not compatible. In the BIOS the drive is allowed and I use the version of the BIOS available latast. Now I'm stuck. Can someone help me?

    Hello thank you for the suggestion. It's not built-in smart card reader but Ricoh Media Card reader :-) But your suggestion to check some other devices in Device Manager and the problem is that the driver for Ricoh PCIe Host Controller was not correct. So I deleted all the devices associated with Ricoh, then I inserted the SD card again and now it installed the good drivers and player still working :-) of return

    So to run back again you must do following things:

    1. SD card insert it in the drive
    2. Open Device Manager and look for:
    3. "Ricoh SD Disk Device" under "drives".
    4. "Ricoh PCIe SDXC/MMC Host Controller" under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers '.
    5. Uninstall the drivers
    6. Remove the SD card
    7. The new drivers install downloaded from the website of Lenovo's Support
    8. Restart the computer
    9. Inserting SD card - now it's readable :-)

    Is it :-)

  • eMachines ET1331-40F built in card reader not working not

    I have windows 7 Home premium 64-bit SP1

    Seems that, after the latest updates of weeks MS resembles my 8 in 1 (?) card reader does not work. USB ports before work. I checked the Device Manager and under Universal Serial bus controllers, there is an unknown device with an exclamtion point. I tried to look for new drivers and uninstall and reininstalling but niether of those who worked.

    I did add a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse before the adapter, but I don't think that's the problem.

    How can I get my built in back online and functional card reader?

    Thank you, but it has been my experience that cancellations after windows updates are extremely rare and rarely necessary.

    That should only be done in extreme emergency, e.g. PC is locked or you think you have a virus (which a restore may or may not help with that).

    My problem has been resolved in a more easy way:

    (1) turn off the PC and unplug the power cord.

    (2) open the PC and look for cord behind built in card reader. Follow it from the motherboard and disconnect. NOTE: Take a close look at the orientation of the connector AND pins. I didn't know that mine has 2 rows of pins and my card only worked in the lower row.

    (3) card reader unplugged, Leaving the power cord PC and market challenges.

    (4) turn off the PC and unplug it.

    (5) card built in reader of card to card mother. The PC power cord and turn on PC

    (6) check device manager > USB bus controllers, you should now have no points of question marks or exclamation points. Check mobile devices. You should see all the respective readers for each built card reader function.

    Essentially by unplugging and re plugging the card reader you give windows a chance to lose and re - search for the appropriate driver. For some reason, remove the driver and new driver search did not work for me, but the above steps worked.

  • Pavilion dv6 sd card reader not working not

    I searched the advice and have not found an answer to my built in SD card reader does not work anymore.  It worked fine until a few weeks ago. When I go to 'my computer', the sd card do not appears as a disk. I tried several cards with no luck. The cards work fine when I use a USB card reader, just not built in one.

    I checked the driver in the device - at least one manager I think is the correct one - Realtek PCIE Card Reader.

    Any other ideas? It's a pain to have to carry around an extra card reader. Thanks for the help

    Hello rv9a.

    You have an idea about what day it started a few weeks ago?  It is possible that you could restore your computer to a time before that time.  This will help to verify that the problem is hardware related.  If you are restoring, and the problem persists it is likely that the material is in trouble.  One last step to confirm, if you wanted to do, would be to perform a recovery of the HP system in order to resume the laptop to factory conditions.  If the problem persists after the recovery so you can say that it is a hardware problem with 99% certainty.  Just know that you will lose all the data you do not back up before the resumption.  If you perform a system restore, it should not remove your user files (just make sure to save anything on your desktop).

    How to perform a restore of the system Microsoft Windows 8.

    How to perform a restore of the system Microsoft in Windows 7.

    How to run an HP system recovery.

    I also took a glance at the page HP part Surfer to your laptop.  This site lists the parts available for the laptop and gives you a good idea what you would be able to replace it yourself.  I don't see the card reader listed here.  This means it will take probably a motherboard replacement to solve the problem.  I doubt that it is worth for you, but if you want to buy the piece on the site.

    However, if the laptop is under warranty (check here) I invite you to contact HP Support and inquire about a repair on the computer.  The number for US / Canadian customers is 1-800-474-6836.  If you are in another part of the world, you visit HP's Support around the world to find the coordinates for your region.

    If you find these useful information or just want to say thank you, you can click the White Star under my name.  It gives me good and I really appreciate it!

    I'll look at the results of these measurements; If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.  I hope you have an amazing day!

    Hi BMCEMAN,

    1. check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps to go to the Device Manager

    i. click on start, type devmgmt.msc and then on enter.

    II. research the name of the device

    If the device is not detected in Device Manager, and check if it is the hidden device.

    i. click on view under view hidden devices

    II. develop all winks in Device Manager

    III. there would be multiple entries in the device in gray Manager uninstall all entries shaded under all the winks and then restart the computer and connect the external device to the computer and check if it works

    2. install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's Web site and even ensure that the driver is compatible with the version of the operating system installed on your computer. check if it works
