Suddenly, my memory card reader no longer works, any ideas on why it has stopped working?

Hello

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

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 Manager - hard disk - drive SD card or similar - double click - tab driver-
Click on update drivers (this likely will do nothing that MS is far behind the certifying drivers) then right click
following the UNINSTALL.

Now bring the controllers USB - right click - UNINSTALL everything in category one at time 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
it. you can remove all instances of the drive and restart again.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/usb_devices_view.html

Start - type in the search box - Windows Disk - find Windows Disk Management on the list above.
Right-click - look RUN AS ADMIN 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 windows
drivers.

  • 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.

  • Built-in memory card reader does not

    Hi all
    I use an Acer aspire one 533 with windows xp sp2. My has netbook with a built-in memory card reader that does not detect my memory cards (SD cards).
    FYI, the laptop has recently been recreated!
    Please help me! I am in critical need of it as most of the work on readers of SD.

    It is very possible that you need a driver.  The first place to look is the Acer site.  I couldn't find your model (533) in the list but I found a 5330 model at the following link which includes drivers for the card reader:
       <>http://support.Acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=52 >
    Start your search here:
       <>http://support.Acer.com/us/en/default.aspx >

    If this does not help, do the Device Manager:
    Start-> Run-> "devmgmt.msc".
    Find your card reader in the list, double-click it to obtain information on the manufacturer and model, and then search for a driver from the manufacturer's website.

  • The M70-267 Satellite internal memory card reader does not work

    Hello

    Internal memory card reader no longer works on my M70-267.
    Device Manager reports the error with the driver of the bus PCI 6 mass storage controller, device 4, function 3.
    The first problem, the result of this is?

    Help, please
    thanx

    Hello

    Yes, this mass storage controller could be the card reader. So, you can try to reinstall the drivers, which can be downloaded here:

    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    or you can remove it from the Device Manager and restart your machine

    or, if that didn't help then you should send your machine to a service partner chartered for an assessment of health/repair of equipment.

    To find the closest, you can check out this site:

  • TS15g067cl laptop: memory card reader does not recognize the card

    The card reader does not recognize the cards.  It does not have a drive location (example: f drive).   This makes it impossible to veiw the files or photos on any (I tried six different) of my SanDisk SD cards.  I can't find anywhere to downlod corrected card rhe read updates update drivers or BIOS for my system.   I just bought this computer 1 week ago and do not understand why I read in the forums about driver issues of card reader for the last year.  Windows 8.1 has been out for some time.  Why HP would sell these computers without updating the software to make them work as they should?

    Thanks for the info.  Disk management does not show the drive.  The problem was resolved after reloading BIOS, as suggested in another post.

  • Satellite M60 - 104 - memory card reader does not read the MemoryStick pro duo

    Hi guys,.

    built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read stick memory Sony pro duo - is this normal or not?
    I know it must read MemoryStick pro, but not sure about pro duo.

    Can you help me please?

    Hello

    > the built in card reader on my laptop does not recognize/read stick memory Sony pro duo - is this normal or not?

    Of course, this could be a normal behavior as not all cards are compatible and taken in charge.
    I would recommend look in the user manual because you can find there information cards can be used in the portable card reader!

    According to this page, is supposed to have "1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick®, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)", but the pdf manual that comes with it says that it supports not the Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo or mini-SD.

    However, I have a Memory Stick Pro, and a Memory Stick Pro Duo in a Memory Stick Pro adapter, and the reader can't read one of them (they both count as Memory Stick Pro, which should be readable, right?)

    Would I be able to read my Memory Stick Pro cards? Why I can't because it says that I should be able to? Should I install something first?

    Hello

    To my knowledge and according to the manual of bridge housing media supports media type
    -SD memory card
    -MultiMediaCard, xD-Picture Card
    -Memory Stick
    -Memory Stick Pro

    Please note that the Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro are not the same in the Memory stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo.
    Don t mix.

  • Multiform memory card reader does not work on my Satellite M30

    Nothing I will allow me to get my on my satellite m30x 111 multiformat card reader to recognize any type of memory card, I put in the slots, whether sd, mmc, etc... Can anyone suggest a solution? Should I install specific drivers? The same cards are recognized when it is attached by usb, for example in a camera, etc.

    Thank you! Toby.

    Hi Toby

    Can you please check the Device Manager and see if there's some hardware component indicated as unknown? As far as I know that the card reader should be listed under SCSI and RAID controllers.

    Please check!
