Satellite C850-B635 and Win7 - card reader is not working

My notebook came with windows 8 and the card reader was working
but I installed windows 7 64-bit , downloaded all required drivers to my notebook , but the card reader is not working now .
I downloaded a driver called card reader controller but it didn't work as well
I don't know if there is a problem or there is a driver that I should install and I don't know .
please help me solving that problem .
In my windows device manager these devices isn't recognized :
*PCI simple communications controller
*SM Bus Controller
*Unknown Device
I tried to search in my drivers download page in Toshiba website but couldn't find these
please help me making my card reader working again.
Regards

To me the case is simple and the reason why the SD card reader does not work is that an compatible driver isnt installed.
My theory seems to be correct since the SM bus controller and PCI simple communications controller appear in the device manager and I guess one of these devices belongs to the SD card reader/controller.
I think you should simply install this Realtek Card Reader Controller which I found on the Toshiba EU driver page
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/carc-20130924161048.zip
Furthermore you should install all other Win 7 drivers as well as Toshiba tools available for Satellite C850 series.
Very important is the chipset driver, USB 3.0 driver (Win 7 needs this driver to control the USB 3.0 port), display driver. etc
Not very essential tools are Bulletin Board, Online Product information, Reeltime, etc such additional tools dont improved the notebook performance so its up to you if you want to use these software parts

Satellite A200-1NF and Win7 - FN keys are not working

Hello,
I have installed Windows7 32bit on *Toshiba Satellite A200-1NF* (model +PSAE6E-055021FR+), but I have a problem with the combination of the Fn key with the key functions Esc, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 and F12. No problem with F10 and F11. I read the A200 user's manual without any solution.
Note that I bought Satellite A200-1NF with Windows Vista 32 bit.
Could you help me !

There is no special instruction:
Using Win 7 the functions keys requires installation of Value Added Package and Flash Card Support Utility. Thats all.
Probably your problem is related to some registry problems. Cannot say for sure.
But you can play a little bit around with the mentioned software.
Uninstall both tools. Then install the display driver.
Clean registry using the CCLeaner. Then reboot several times. Install only VAP just to check the FN key functionality. If it will not be enough, install and Flash Card Support Utility
good luck

Satellite X200 and Windows7 (32bit) - Card Reader is not working

Hi All,
Hope someone can help.
My X200-219 has recently been upgraded to Windows7 and although it is running well, (better than with Vista for now anyway), the card reader is not working.
Do I need a driver installed??
Looked at various but can't find anything obvious??
Cheers and thanks

It is Vista 32 bit driver for Digital Media Card Reader. I hope it will work.
Send some feedback.

Tun miniport adapters are not working and the camera card reader is not working on a T61P.

The Microsoft tun miniport adapters #4,2, and 3 are not working. They display code 10 error message. Also the USB mass storage device (camera card reader) is not working.
I have tried to uninstall and update the drivers to no avail. I have used ThinkVantage Tool Box. It only lets me know that they are not working. It does say to reinstall them. I have tried. All effort has failed.
All was find until I ran several updates via ThinkVantage.
All suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Tom

Visit Apple store since if it isn't software probably iPhone is on it's way out

Token and smart card reader are not detected on Mavericks if not plugged on a USB port during system boot

Well, both token and smart card reader are not detected on OS X 10.9 if not plugged on a USB port during system boot. So, if I am already working within the system and need to use my certificates I have to plug the token or smart card reader on a USB port and restart Mavericks.
Token is a GD Starsign and Smart Card Reader is a SCR3310 v2.
Thoughts?

SCS is a very good app, since I've read that Apple has discontinued support for PC/SC interfaces after the release of Mountain Lion.
(My previous installation was a Mavericks upgrade from Lion)
However, I don't know what and how to debug using Smart Card Services. Do you know any commands to use?
Apparently, the SC reader reports no issues: the LED is blinking blue when no smart card is present and becomes fixed blue when a smart card is inserted – according to the manuals, this shows that there is correct communication between the OS and the CCID reader.
I don't know what to do; I'm beginning to hypothesize it's a digital signer issue. In fact, my smart card only supports one application called File Protector (by Actalis) to officially sign digital documents. This application seems to have major difficulties in identifying the miniLector EVO.
The generic and ambiguous internal error comes when I try to manually identify the peripheral.
Athena CNS is one of the Italian smart cards and is automatically recognized and configured (so it's correct – no doubts about this), while "ACS ACR 38U-CCID 00 00" seems to be the real name of the miniLector.
(I'm assuming this because System Information also returns that the real manufacturer is ACS... bit4id is a re-brander)
However, when I click on it and then tap OK, it returns internal error.
As first attempt, I would try to completely erase&clean File Protector files to try a reinstall. Then, if this still doesn't work, I'd debug using the terminal.
So:
- Do you know any applications to 100% clean files created by an installer?
- Do you have in mind any solutions that I might have forgotten?
Thanks in advance from an OS X fan!

Installed Photoshop Elements. Card Reader still not working.

Installed Photoshop Elements. Card Reader still not Working.

And what does any of that have to do with Adobe software? You better check your hardware setup and install the proper driver for whatever card reader you use...

HELP!!! My Card reader is not working!

My card reader is not working and this is extremely frustrating when trying to transfer data from one device to my my macbook pro. Is there any one out there that can help me with this issue?

Some people (me included) have found the problme to be a stuck contact inside the socket on the MacBook Pro. The far left contact appears to get stuck in the "inserted" position (depressed) and fails to signal to the computer that a new card has been inserted. This contact is partially hidded behind an alignment key molded into the socket. One fix is to carefully (and I mean carefully) use a toothpick to gently prod the contact into its "not-inserted" position (it will pop up and work afterwards). If you aren't comfortable doing this yourself, you can get an inexpensive card reader that connects via USB as a workaround.
If the computer is still under warranty (or you have AppleCare), take it in and let Apple or an AASP fix it for you.

SD card reader is not working in my MBP early 2011. Is there any solution?

SD card reader is not working in my MBP early 2011. Is there any solution?

on my macbook iphoto didn't recognise my camera or card reader after upgrading to iphoto '11,
Evenutally I went to an application called Image Capture which I seem to have already. This read the camera contents. I selected the images I wanted and then imported them into iphoto which was one of the options given. It worked. God knows why one has to go through two steps. But I'm feeling pretty triumphant. This may help you if you haven't already sorted it.

Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working

Numeric key pad is not working, card reader is not working,

Did you (or someone else) physically open the laptop case?
If you did, then some cables might have gone loose inside.
If you didn't, for the card reader, check if appropriate device drivers are installed in windows device manager.
for the numeric keypad, first tap once on the NUM LOCK key and check.
If this doesn't solve the problem, boot to "Safe mode", and check.

Tecra 9000: SD card reader will not work with XP

I have made some progress with this subject, it seems that Cardbus devices cannot share IRQs, although the main issue is that the memory address FFDFB200-FFDFB3FF is shared by both the SD card controller and the SD Card Memory Device. Unless a way to modify the registry can be found to resolve this memory conflict, the simple answer is that the SD card reader won't work under XP.
I think this would take some major surgery of the registry or re-writing of the drivers to move the memory address used by the SD card device, I am still working on this for now.
Can someone from Toshiba Support or Toshiba Marketing please explain to me why my Tecra T9100 has a sticker with "Designed for Windows XP and Windows 2000" on it, when Toshiba don't fully support XP on the 9000 series?

Hi David
Unfortunately, I dont think that you will find here someone from Toshiba marketing or other departments. This is ONLY a user to user forum.
What you say 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 this Toshiba images from the Toshiba service partner. Therefore Tecra 9000 does support Windows XP!
Tecra 9100 was delivered with Windows XP and Windows 2000 and supports also Windows XP!
Of course there are different models with different hardware configuration but all supports WinXP.
I dont know why you get this error message or why you cannot use the SD card but I assume you dont use the Toshiba image. Therefore you have installed your OS not correctly. Because youre a newbie you dont know that the whole Toshiba driver installation must be done in the right order and all the Microsoft QFEs must be also installed.
As you see you have to pay attention to many important things if you want to install the OS manually.
Have a nice day

SD photo card reader is not working; not recognized by PC (HP Envy 700-414) running Windows 8.1

My SD photo card reader suddenly stopped working - I get an error message to the effect that USB device not recognized. How do I get this working again?

Hello @mnskier,
I understand that your SD Card Reader has stopped working. I think you should do a backup and recovery of your computer to ensure that you do not have a hardware issue. The best way to do that is to replace the software so you have ruled out settings or a bad driver as possible causes. To backup your personal information and ensure that it is not lost I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), which will ensure your personal files are up to date.
***WARNING!! If you want to keep any emails or bookmarks/favorites you will want to back those up as well as I do not believe they are backed up in the HP Backup process.
Next, I would like you to review and follow the steps set out in the HP Support document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will you through recovering your computer back to factory settings.
*** IMPORTANT - Your personal files such as libraries, personalization settings, user accounts, and desktop themes are permanently removed. As well the computer settings are returned to the defaults (the way it was when it came from the factory). All apps and software that were installed on the computer when it came from the factory are reinstalled, and their settings are reset to the defaults. Additionally, software, apps, programs, and everything that you have installed or saved on the computer are permanently removed.

Satellite A300 - dvd, usb and card reader will not work

Help required please.
Have a A300 Satellite laptop, running vista.
Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it. The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card and the other usb port does not fuction.
I have not installed or cannot remember changing settings or doing anything out of the usually.
Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi
Your posting is very confusing.
> Until a couple of weeks ago all good, then noticed the dvd/cd did not recognized and disc in it.
Well, there are many reasons for that; it could be possible that inserted disk is not fully compatible. Try different disks from different manufacturers.
It could be also possible that laser lens of the ODD is dirty. In such case you could clean it using a cotton-wool tip and alcohol. In my case this helped.
> The card reader cannot find anything on the card (and yes the card was full).
Did you use a compatible card? The notebook handles these cards:
SD Card 8MB - 2GB
SDHC Card - 4GB
xD picture card - 16MB-2GB
Memory Stick - 8MB-256MB
Memory Stick Pro - 256MB-2GB
MultiMediaCard - 8MB-1GB
miniSD (with SD adapter) - 32MB-2GB
I would also recommend to format the card and to copy some files from computer and then to test this.
You could also reinstall and update the driver for card reader controller...
> The usb scanner is recognized as a external memory card
Cannot believe that You should use a scanner software (should be provided with the scanner) and should test this device. By the way; mostly a scanner driver needs to be installed in order to use this
