HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop - Memory Card Reader Stopped Working

Hello,
         I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC ... The memory card reader recently stopped working. I believe, maybe the firmware, and/or driver was deleted by one of my optimization softwares. I checked the "Device Manager" list and was unable to locate "any" memory card device.  All the USB plugs work fine. When I place an SD card in the memory card reader slot, the light comes on, but the computer does not recognize the card. The card does not show up in my "Computer" window with the other drives. I checked the card out on my other computer, and it worked fine.   I also have an HP laptop that I tested my SD cards on, and the cards worked fine on my laptop.
        I would appreciate any help, or suggestions, that any one might give.
                                                                                                                                                                     Thank You

My HP Pavilion Elite m9058n PC's Card-Readers Stop Reading/Recognizing My SDHC Cards

Just about 2 weeks ago my HP Pavilion Elite m9058n PC's card readers stop reading or recognizing my memory cards used to store the pictures I took. They used to be able to read my SDHC cards (Sandisk, Kinston, Panasonic) before. Don't understand why they stop reading, even recognizing all of them. My O/S is Windows 8. The initial symptom was the options for processing the inserted cards seemed to be showing up slower than before and then I had to withdraw the cards and re-insert them so that such option screen appear. Then later on it didn't show up at all. And when I checked "This PC" ("computer" or "my computer" in other Windows versions), I didn't see the DRIVE LETTERS, like G, K, or J, etc. for the memory card readers any more. Now if I connect my camera directly with my PC, I see on the camera model number on "This PC" screen.
Please help me understand what this problem is and kindly provide me with the best solutions you can.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I understand your card reader is not working as you have previously experienced. Take a look at the following document, Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8), specifically the "Resolving issues with memory cards" section. Hopefully there will be something in there that is useful for you. Best of luck. Have a wonderful day.

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC power on/start windows issue

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC, Windows 7 Pro. When powered on (using the power switch), the blue power light and amber hard drive lights on the front illuminate, but monitor shows no signal and the keyboard lights do not come on. F10 on the keyboard doesn't bring anything up on the screen either. Sounds like there is hard drive activity, but the amber light does not flash. If I put a bootable dvd in the drive, it appears to read the dvd, but does not boot from it (nothing appears on the monitor.) Monitor, keyboard and mouse have been verified operational. Hard drive data appears to be intact and have verified 12v and 5v operational from power supply. Haven't found a place to verify 3v power. Depressing the power switch does not turn the computer off, only way is to unplug the power cord. This sympton happened a couple of weeks ago, but after several power cycles, it booted fine and worked for a while. Not this time, though.

HI JIMINFL:
How was your weekend, I hope it was super!
I understand that when you boot up, you get a blank screen. You also said that you know the keyboard, mouse and monitor are working. I am sending you a link to a document on "Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer" click here. I am also sending "HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" click here to test for hardware failures. Please let me know the outcome.

Card reader stopped working

My card reader (sd,ms,xd) quit working. It worked for two years with no problems and today it quit. I have an HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y desktop and Windows 7. When an SD card is plugged in, nothing. Autoplay is on and I am able to transfer pics manually from the card to the PC. Also, simultaneously, when I try and attach a pic to an email (gmail) only 5 library folders are displayed out of the 50+ folders in my My Pictures library. This seemed to happen about the same time as Google wanted me to use Drive; could there be a Google gremlin at work here? I'm not much of a computer guy so I need simple answers, please.

Hello larrydayton,
Your card reader stopped working correctly.
Since you’re having multiple problems at the same time, I’d suggest a system restore.
This will take the system back to when everything was working correctly without affecting your personal files.
Here is a link on how to do a restore.
Let me know how everything goes
Have a good day.

Satellite A205 - SD Card reader stopped working after Win 7 upgrade

Satellite A205-SP5818
I recently upgraded to Windows 7, and, among other things, the SD Card reader stopped working. I already downloaded and installed the driver offered in this site: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2190493& rpn=PSAE3U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663 (it's the next-to-last driver shown) but it went from not working all together to making funny noices when I insert the SD card... and then not working.
Any ideas of other drivers that might work, or any kind of other solution?
Thanks.

Hi
Try to remove eh SD card controller from the device list.
Then reboot the unit.
After that windows will ask you for an driver.
You can download this driver:
[SD Driver, Flash Memory v2.0.0.7|http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/driver_cardreader_ti_25844A.exe]
You should unzip this package and has to point the driver files in this folder
This should helps to get the SD card reader working again

HP Envy Touchsmart 15-J104sa Memory Card Reader not working

I took delivery of an HP Envy Touchsmart 15-J104sa running Windows 8.1 this week and the internal memory card reader isn't working. It doesn't recognise any SD cards (I've tried more than one) and continues as if nothing has been inserted; showing no error messages. All of 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 update software (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63415.exe) every time an SD card is inserted; this must be done with the card in the reader. If the software is run and then the card is inserted nothing happens. If the card is ejected and then re-inserted (or a new card inserted) it isn't recognised and the process has to be restarted and the driver reinstalled even though nothing has changed.
Can somebody please help me with this issue or I will have to return the laptop to HP. I do a lot of photography so being able to read an SD card quickly and reliably is extremely important for me; it's not a problem I expected from a brand new laptop straight out of the box.
Thank you all.

Unfortunately non of the driver updates solved the problem but a BIOS update through the HP Support application seems to have remedied the issue. Whilst I appreciate there were no specific drivers available I find it hard to accept that HP should be able to release a model where they know the hardware will not be fully supported by the OS and in this case not function.

USB memory card reader not working since latest security update

Hi, I have an iApp CR-e500 multi-format memory card reader; worked great prior to the latest security update. Now every time I plug it in I get the following errors in the console:
Oct 19 03:37:00 dachshund kernel[0]: USBF: 1496.818 AppleUSBEHCI[0x1b4d800]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 91, timing out!
Oct 19 03:37:00 dachshund kernel[0]: USBF: 1496.826 AppleUSBEHCI[0x1b4d800]::DoIOTransfer - error 0xe000404f queueing request
The reader works fine on my office Windows laptop and my USB pendrive still works on my Mac, so the USB ports appear to be functional; they just don't like this thing anymore.
Was there a USB driver change? If so is there anything I can do to sort this? I suppose I could just buy a new card reader if someone can confirm one that works with the latest security update of 10.4.11, that would be great.
Alternatively if Apple could please loosen up whatever they tightened in their USB drivers that would be nice as well...

Disregard. Looks like it's the memory card I'm trying to mount; not working on the Windows machine either.
Sorry!

Pavilion p6-2330 Card reader stopped working

Hi! I seem to be having trouble with my card reader - it has always worked fine up until 2 days ago, and I have used this particular sd card in it before with no problem. Now when I put my card in the slot the green light comes on but when I go into "Computer" nothing shows up. Also when I have the SD card in the slot the computer freezes - webpages won't load until I take the card out. Thanks for any help you're able to give me!

Hello catki,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that until recently your card reader worked fine, but in the last few days you have been unable to read your SD card. First thing I would recommend is that you try a different SD card to ensure it is not the SD card itself that is the issue.
If the second SD card does not work either then I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using and Troubleshooting Memory Card Readers (Windows 8), which will walk you through troubleshooting your card reader.
If the second SD card works it is your SD card that is the issue. Try reformatting it and see if it works, if not it may need replacing.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for bringing this issue to the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Still trying to get my memory card reader to work (H520)

Hello, all,
I see in Lenovo support that there are two card reader drivers updated for win 8.1. I wonder if that is why my card reader does not work.
How do I know what card reader is installed in my H520? I can't findit listed in device manager.

I restarted. That helped. But I deleted the DVD files a few restarts ago and it didn't do anything. Is there anything in the Disk Utility that I'm supposed to be doing? I downloaded the Omni Sweeper and that's doing its thing. Also the Omni Sweeper says my home folder is using 174GB which is just not possible since I only have 120GB
