If you can't get the working card reader, you can use a card reader that is
not expensive.

  • Card reader HP Pavilion dv6 does not detect some SDHC cards

    Hp Pavilion dv6-6104so laptop

    Windows 7-64 bit

    The laptop card reader does not detect some of our SDHC cards. We have updated the driver to the latest version, Realtek PCIE 6.1.7601.90 and BIOS, but it does not yet recognize some of our cards.

    We have six three SanDisk SDHC cards (4, 32 and 32 GB), two Kingston (8 and 8 GB) and an integral (4 GB). The card reader recognizes four of them (4 to 32 GB SanDisk cards and one of the two cards Kingston). What is strange and you may have already noticed is that the card reader recognizes only one of two cards with the same brand and quality!

    On the two cards that don't recognize in our specifications, they work properly in their corresponding cameras and are detected without problem by another reader of cards to laptop of HP Pavilion dv6-3138so, as well as by two netbooks from our two different brands.

    When we connect the camera (a Canon and Sony, both point) to the computer via a cable USB 2.0, the laptop detects the cameras and through them, we can access the cards.

    We bought the laptop less than two weeks in Helsinki, Finland.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hey everybody,

    Use of a high capacity card in a standard card reader location causes this problem. Im going to guess that the cards you ar having problems with are not standard SD cards and SDHC cards. As Naoto said, using a camera as a card reader you workaround this. You can also look in the adapters of SDHC card reader. Here is a good article on SDHC cards: http://goo.gl/lj5Fq

  • 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.

  • memory card reader does not

    Compaq Presaro CQ3000 model series CQ3420AN memory card reader does not read SD cards.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Dell 7 venue does not detect the external SD card

    Hi team,

    Recently, I bought a Dell Tablet conference 7. It works very well. But there is a problem with external memory card slot, it is not able to detect the external memory card. I tried a lot of cards, all are working well in other devices, but it is not detected by my tablet. I tried my tablet as well as formatting SD card, but is still no use: (.) Please give me a solution...

    Kind regards

    Hello friend

    I also have the dell site 7 16 GB, but never fell on these issues, except when I tried to upgrade my sd card 16 GB class 10 (san disk) to 32 GB class 10 (kingston). When I put the 32 GB it does not detect, so I tried my 16GB and everything was back to normal.

    Maybe it's the inability of the dell site 7 in support of the higher upper memory class ability cards.

    My dell has also supported 32GB sandisk hybrid pendrive, this USB key with both ends... called dual player... key USB OTG of IE

  • Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Smart card reader does not correctly connect once the virtual machine is restored from sleep using the vmrum controls

    Scenario is,

    1. smart card reader is connected to the VM with card inserted in

    2 initiate a prompt suspension of the VM toolbar

    3. now to resume the virtual machine by using vmrun command into the host machine

    WS t vmrun start xxx.vmx

    Now, the recovery of VM but the smart card reader that was previously connected does not work properly in VM that is to say, sometimes after CV chip card reader driver is uninstalling and a few other times, chip connected to the drive is not available on a virtual computer

    My requirement is after power, smart card reader can stay connected to the virtual computer with the already installed driver and the smart card.

    Kindly help with this problem.

    Host operating system: Victoire 2012 R2

    The VM OS: win 10 x 64

    Thank you!!

    Dear all,

    I had a work around for this problem. By adding "usb.autoConnect.device0 ="0xVID:0xPID"" this statement to the VMX file, solves this problem, that is, whenever the VM is wake-up by clicking on the link CV or using vmrun commands, it connects the unit in question automatically and it is charging correctly with his driver. Obtaining smart card detected after sleep\hibernate with no problems.

    VID & PID is respective ID of the device that can be seen in the properties of the Device Manager "Device Instance path".

  • Tecra 9000: SD card reader does not work with XP

    I've made some progress on this issue, it seems that Cardbus devices cannot share IRQS, although the main problem is that FFDFB200-FFDFB3FF memory address is shared by the SD card controller and device memory SD card. Unless we find a way to edit the registry to resolve this conflict of memory, the simple answer is that the SD card reader does not work under XP.

    I think that it would take a major surgery of the register or re-writing of drivers to move the address of memory used by the SD card device, I always work on this for now.

    Can someone support Toshiba or Toshiba Marketing explain to me why my Tecra T9100 has a "Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000" sticker on it, when Toshiba does fully support XP on the 9000 series?

    David

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hi David

    Unfortunately, I n t think that you will find here a Toshiba marketing person or other departments. It is ONLY a user to user forum.

    What you say, it is simply NOT true.

    The Tecra 9000 was delivered with 3 different OS.
    It was delivered with Windows XP Pro, W2k and Win98. You can order all the images of this Toshiba home Toshiba service partner. That's why Tecra 9000 does support Windows XP!
    Tecra 9100 has been bundled with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and also supports Windows XP!

    Of course, there are different models with a different hardware configuration, but all supports Windows XP.

    I put t know why you get this error message or why you cannot use the SD card, but I guess you don t use the image of Toshiba. That's why you installed your operating system isn't properly. Because you are a newbie you don t know the Toshiba all the driver installation must be done in the right order and all Microsoft QFEs must be installed also.

    As you can see you must pay attention to many important things if you want to manually install the operating system.

    Good day

    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
