B320 Card reader doesn't

Just discovered the card reader on my new machine does not read, does not react or anything when I put a card in. I downloaded/installed the drivers for windows8 from Lenovo and no change, tried the device manager update and it says I have the best drivers.
Any further thoughts?

Well, I uninstalled the driver (left files on the drive option), rebooted, went to device manager and had the yellow exclamation - properties said there was no driver. I let it search the net, message came back that the driver was already present, went to front page of device manager and no yellow mark.
Tried the reader and it works fine :-)
Some sort of goof when I updated to win 8 I would guess.

Macbook Pro SD Card reader doesn't work

Hey all. A few weeks ago I plugged in my SD card like I've always done, but my SD reader didn't work. I've tried SMC reset and PRAM reset. Nothing works. The SD reader doesn't show up in apple system profiler nor in Disc Utility. I've tried different SD cards.
What can be done?

i tried that since Yosemite killed my SD Card reader... its so annoying. i don't even know if its a hardware or software issue. however, the check didn't worked... and all my 3 SD Cards are working well...

Importing into Lightroom with card reader doesn't show previews

I am using Lightroom 2.4 with Adobe 5.4 Raw on a Windows XP based laptop -- however the problem I am having also presents on my desktop which also uses Lightroom 2.4 with Adobe 5.4 and Windows XP. In fact the issue is completely the same on both computers: When I try to import photos directly into Lightroom using a card reader, the interface opens, but does not show the previews -- and yes, the show preview box is checked. The preview boxes are there, but they are completely greyed out. If I use the same card reader but direct it to open into Photoshop Elements it shows the previews and it also shows them in Bridge for CS4. So clearly the problem doesn't lie with the computer or card or cardreader. It seems only in Lightroom that the previews do not show up. Adobe raw supports my camera which is set to shoot raw and it also makes a JPG copy, but neither show up.
I spent more than an hour with a tech trying to get this to work and didn't solve the problem. I'm hoping that someone has some bright ideas that will help me out.

I tried to respond before, but I think the message didn't go through. Sorry. Because my Lightroom hasn't been working the way it is supposed to, I have been doing what you suggest -- saving the photos from my card reader to a file through Bridge -- which does open the previews -- and then importing them to Lightroom. But it means one extra step and Lightroom's strength is supposed to be work flow, so I would like to get it to work properly. I think that if the card reader were faulty -- and the problem occurs with several different card readers -- that it wouldn't show the previews in Bridge or even Photoshop Elements, which it does. So I think there is some problem with Lightroom, not the card reader. Any other suggestions? I'd be happy to know about them. Meanwhile, thanks for your reply.

Inspiron 1520: memory card reader doesn't work in Windows 8

I upgraded my daughters Inspiron 1520 to Windows 8 and everything works well. The only problem we are having is the memory card reader does not work. Windows 8 recognizes it and shows the action center flag and advises us to install a new driver.. We install the driver R188776.exe, install it, and re-boot, but the memory card reader still doesn't work.. Is there another driver we can install?

Did you ever get this problem figured out? I had two hardware devices indicating problems when installing windows 8 on my 1520. Never actually used my card reader until I had everything up and running. I downloaded "Ricoh R5C832, R5C843, R5C833, v.1.0.1, A00 Ricoh R5C832, R5C843, R5C833, v.1.0.1, A00
R141246.EXE | Hard-Drive (582 KB)
Chipset|
Release date 26 Jun 2007
|Last Updated 03 Nov 2011"
It asked if I wanted to use it since I already had a newer driver in installed and I did it anyways. No more flags in device manager. Hope it helps.

SD Card Reader Doesn't Work After Windows 10 Upgrade

I recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 and since then am unable to download pictures to my laptop (something I need and do all the time). My computer doesn't even recognize that I've put an SD card into it - no noise, no pop-ups, nothing. I also tried to plug my camera directly into the computer and go that route, but it won't work that way either. The SD card in the camera definitely has pictures on it, but it says the "folder is empty." This is a function that I love, need, and greatly miss. I did check to see if there were any software or driver updates available for my laptop on your support site, but Windows 10 isn't even an option in the operating system version drop-down... Please help!

Hi: I think most of the g6's have the Realtek card reader. Try the W10 card reader driver directly from Realtek. First driver on the list... http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

SD card reader doesn't work on Satellite C850-1CN after Win 8.1 install

Hi,
Since I installed Windows 8.1 on my computer Satellite C850-1CN ref. : PSKCAE my SD port does not work
I would like to know if there is a driver I need to download because I searched the site for a pilot port but in vain ...
Sorry for my English I speak French and I hope I'm in the right forum

Hi
You have to download and install the card reader controller driver for Win 8.1 system
This driver should be the right one:
[Card Reader Controller v 6.1.8400.30136 Windows 8.1 - 64 Bit|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7499&selSh ortMod=3417&language=13&selOS=all&selType=316&year upload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode= allMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=a ll&selectedLanguage=13&type=316&page=1&ID=88526&OS ID=46&driverLanguage=42]

Tecra M2 - Card reader doesn't work on Windows 7

Hi All
I've installed Win 7 on my TECRA M2 and everything worked fine at once ... except for one thing! The SD card reader is not recognized (worked well with XP).
Any hint please ?
Thanks in advance
JP

Tecra M2 is very old notebook model and it won't be Win7 supported.
In my opinion you should be happy that Win7 works well on this old notebook model. I cannot imagine card reader is so important and you cannot live without it.
Card reader is specific hardware component and, as you probably know, limited with reading SD cards with different capacities.
Maybe it sounds pessimistic now but I don't believe you will be able to find some "independent" driver for it.

Re: Satellite A300-1EG - Card reader doesn't work

Hi. Here is my problem:
My OS is WinXPSP2, all necessary drivers was installed including for Card reader controller. But when I insert SD card into my laptop, nothing changes. In Device manager "Secure Digital Storage Device" marked with "!".
What is the reason of such problem? If somebody knows, help me please.
Thank you for attention.
P.S. I am sorry if something is wrong in my English.

Can you try to install the notebook with the recovery disk? This would be important because so can be sure that all functions will work.
If doesnt work it seems like a faulty hardware or lets say a faulty card reader but try the recovery disk first.

USB Card Reader Doesn't See CF Card w/ 10.4.6 - Worked fine with 10.4.5

Why do I do these things??
I bought a cheap "Comp Usa" brand USB multi-card reader that I've been plugging into a Belkin powered USB hub. It worked fine reading a SanDisk 1gb "Ultra II" CF card until yesterday with 10.4.5.
Now that I've "upgraded" to 10.4.6, the card isn't registering anymore. The green LED on the reader lights up, showing some sort of connection between the reader and the USB hub, but the card will not appear on the desktop.
I should've waited - there is nothing in the 10.4.6 descriptions of fixes that matters to me, and now I don't know how to safely "go back" to 10.4.5.
Any thoughts?
G4 tower dual 450mhz, OSX 10.4.6 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Please talk me down from the ledge!

Delete kernel extension caches, other caches for some issues A number of common issues that crop up after incremental Mac OS X updates can be resolved by deleting specific cache files -- specifically kernel extension caches -- and restarting.
This can most easily be accomplished with a shareware utility like Tiger Cache Cleaner, but also bears a manual process which involves dragging the following files to the trash:
com.apple.kernelcaches (a folder in /System/Library/Caches)
Extensions.kextcache (a file in /System/Library)
Extensions.mkext (a file in /System/Library/)
com.apple.ATS (a folder in /Library/Caches/)
Files that start with com.apple.LaunchServices (in /Library/Caches)
You will be prompted to enter your administrator password when dragging these files to the trash. You may need to restart after moving them to the trash.
Re-apply the Mac OS X 10.4.6 combo updater (Do not have USB Hub connected when you do this) A workaround that has proved successful for various problems caused by previous incremental Mac OS X updaters is re-application of the current combination updater
(Power PC) http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty1.pl/product=10151&cat=1&platform =osx&method=sa/MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.6PPC.dmg
. Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing files that were not replaced by the "Delta" (adjacent version-to-version) update.

After upgrading mountain lion my SD card reader doesn`t show anymore

After upgrading my mountain lion my SD cardreader does not show anymore. I`ve tried to restart my Mac but it does not work. Can anyone help me please?

Finder > Preferences > General and Sidebar
Enable "Show these items....".
Best.

Why doesn't my card reader work when I take it from the camera and put it in the reader? Nothing happens and it doesn't show up in finder.

When I put my card into the reader, nothing happens. It doesn't show up in finder so I can't dismount it. The pictures on it aren't readeable all of a sudden, except for two of them, and that's all that would download to iphoto, but I had to connect the camera since the card reader doesn't resond.

Hi bricknut dab,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Are you asking about the SD slot on your Mac, or is this an external card reader plugged into a USB port? If it is the one on your Mac, the article below may be helpful. Did you try more than one SD card? You can use Disc Utility to erase and reformat the card if needed.
About the SD and SDXC card slot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3553
I put the card in the slot, but it did not mount. What should I do?
Remove the card and insert it again. Sometimes, if you put the SD card into the slot too slowly, it may not mount properly.
Can I reformat an SD card with Disk Utility?
Yes. Using Disk Utility, you can partition and format an SD device as FAT32 (using the MS-DOS FAT setting) or Mac OS Extended. The Mac OS Extended format can only be used on Macintosh systems. Cards formatted to Mac OS Extended will not be recognized by non-Apple systems. Formatting cards larger than 32GB for use with digital cameras, GPS, and other devices may require formatting them with the exFAT file system. When in doubt, format the cards in the device you intend to use with the card.
Cheers,
- Judy

[SOLVED]Laptop Internal SD card reader no longer working

Two weeks ago I purchased a Raspberry Pi and set up my own SD card with Arch Linux ARM using the directions at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi with the internal SD card reader on my laptop and had no issues. Today I decided to load up a XBMC distro to a new SD card, but my internal card reader doesn't seem to autodetect or mount my new card. I tried inserting my other card with Arch ARM that I know is a good card, but it no longer works with that card either. Here are all my logs that I could think of to post for any advice:

It seems I have all the necessary information, but I am not sure where to go from here. It's obvious my laptop is detecting the card being inserted and removed, but the card reader is never listed in /dev so I can't mount it. It's listed under lspci but not under lsusb. I'm assuming that it was two weeks ago and that's why it worked, but I'm not sure how to get lsusb to detect it so it will work again. Thanks for any help you guys have.

Macbook Pro - SD Card Reader Issues Solved!

I recently purchased a gently used, early 2011 MBP. I've had it for a few months, but I did not try using the SD card reader until last week... so much for kicking the tires. Long story short, the darn thing did not recognize or mount one single SD card out of a handful of cards, and at least 3 different card manufacturers all used with my Canon DSLR. I searched the net trying to find a solution and tried everything from sticking the card in at a some strange and ridiculous slant to shutting the computer down three different ways and resetting the System Management Controller (SMC); nothing worked. So today I spent 25 minutes or so chatting with an apple care specialist and they (Jim the apple care guru) finally came up with a solution, even though I'm sure neither one of us knows exactly why it worked. So here goes...
Put your SD card in a external card reader, once it's mounted go to disk utilities and reformat (erase) the drive to Mac OS Extended. Take it out of your external reader and put it in the built-in reader on your Mac. Now, of course, it will no longer work in your camera or most other devices so you'll have to format it again in your device of choice. However, here's the kicker... once I did l all of that and took some quick pics, I put it back in my MBP and it popped right up even after a reboot. But wait there's more.... I then put the SD card in my wife's work laptop (PC running Win8) and played with the files for a bit, then stuck it back in the Mac and it still recognized it. So there goes the "windows screws up the formatting myth).
So naturally I assumed that I would be forced to go through this double formatting process for all of my SD cards (and I have a lot), but then it happened! A Christmas miracle in October. I tried a second card, and then a third and a fourth and a fifth, etc... AND now they ALL pop up just like they should. Without reformatting or any other humanly changed processes. Yep... There you have it, it makes no sense. But it works ;)
Somehow formatting just one card in the card reader "woke up" the whole process, almost like my MBP was like, hmmm I was wondering what you kept sticking inside that's slot of mine...
Hope this helps someone. Sorry for the rant :)

Anyone else with card reader issues should read this page. Just because your card reader doesn't appear to be working or has mysteriously dropped off your system doesn't necessarily mean a logic board replacement. I've repaired several portables over the years that had been quoted for costly logic board replacements, when in fact the failures were relatively easy to resolve once you understood the real problem.
It's common belief a PRAM or SMC reset should fix all hardware glitches but sometimes it just doesn't go deep enough, as I found out with my 2011 MBP. Simply removing the battery was all it took to resurrect my seemingly dead card reader, when PRAM and SMC resets failed to have any impact on the problem.

MacBook Pro SD card reader is not working

I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 with OS X 10.8.2. The reader has been working until now. I have tried several different cards with no luck. After searching the community board I tried both an SMC reset and a PRAM reset but no luck. (When I look in Disk Utility, I do not see the built in card reader.) Any suggestions?
