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.

Expresscard reader for CF & SDHC cards

I'm looking for a card reader for my Macbook Pro that can read compact flash cards (from my DSLR) as well as the SDHC (from my Blackberry 8330 curve) and hopefully some of the other common photo cards. But from my cursory searches, I'm seeing only one type of reader or the other. Are CF and SDHC card formats incompatible in a single card reader? Or am I just not looking hard enough? Much appreciated!

I have never seen a single reader for the Expresscard slot that does both CF and SD. I think the issue is that the CF card won't fit in the 34mm size. So that would make for a much bulkier and less visually attractive reader The CF readers already stick out quite a bit. Now it would have to be even bigger to get the SD connector. You could get a CF reader, then get a SD-CF adapter. But that's still technically two adapters.
Me personally, I just gave up and got a $20 USB reader that does CF, SD, MS and XD. Unless you're transferring a lot of data from the memory cards, this might be the most cost effective. Otherwise, for speed, you'll have to get separate Expresscard adapters. However, you'll want to check the specs carefully as some of the readers use the USB interface of the Expresscard slot instead of the PCI interface and so might not get faster transfer rates than an external USB reader.

PSE 12 cannot read Inov8 8GB SDHC card

Am using Nikon D80 and this card worked fine, took a lot of photos, but now I find that Photoshop Elements 12 cannot read the card.
Any advice, please ?
MCO

Are you taking the card from the camera and putting it in a card reader, or connecting the camera directly to the computer?
As PSE uses your hardware to read the card the most likely problems are a faulty card, faulty card reader, faulty connector cable or socket.
Try connecting the card by a different method (e.g. if plugging your camera in, remove the card and plug it into a card reader, or vice-versa).
Are you able to try to read the card on a different computer? If so with what result?

Hp pavilion dv4-1123us Media Card won't read

I have a hp Pavilion dv4-1123us laptop that won't read a 16 GB SDHC media card. The card works in my PC, so the card is good. I have a Scandisk 5-1 media reader hooked to my home PC that would not read it but I found through Scandisk site I needed to download the latest Firmware which I did and now the card works on my PC. The reader has always and still does read a 512 MB and a 2 GB XD cards on my laptop. I am running XP Pro OS.
I have searched the HP site for driver downloads but only see them for Windows 7 and 8 not XP.
Can someone help me on this?

Hello wgray826,
You’re having a problem not being able to read a 16GB SDHC card.
I think that your computer does not support the SDHC card.
Here is a link to your user guide and what cards it supports.
I noticed that it shows the Secure Digital but not the Secure Digital High Capacity.

SDHC internal card readers needed for school!! Help!

This really isn't an emergency, but I do need to find out if there are any class 6 SDHC internal card readers out there or even a heavy, large device that reads P2 and SDHC cards. The reason I'm asking is that for our high school media academy, we need items large enough to be locked down, that can't walk off. The perfect solution is an internal card reader that can go into the second DVD drive slot of our Dual and Quad Core Mac Intel towers. If something like that exists, it would be great and we wouldn't have to worry about card readers walking off or constantly having to insert a card reader for every student or group that needs to ingest. We have over 150 students in the program and they are not allowed to bring USB keychain drives to school, but they can bring a SD card. Any ideas?

Initially, the class of card doesn't dictate whether it is compatible. SDHC readers will read all classes of SDHC.
I've never seen a small one at all. Most are about as big as a credit card, if that big.
There isn't a device that read p2 cards and SDHC. Panasonic used to sell a USB reader/HDD but doesn't anymore. Anything else from Panasonic runs about $2200.00
Nothing works well with MacPros at all, but there is a SIIG combination for PCI E and a reader that may work with 10.5.5. That is about $400.00.

Does SmartTouch TX2 1010ea support SDHC card?

Hi, anyone know if SmartTouch TX2 1010ea model support SDHC card officially? The maintenance and service guide has no mention of it

(not included), supports mini versions of SD, MMC, and MS Duo.
But I did able to read my 4GB SDHC card, however it sometimes crash the Win7. I am not sure if it's Win7's problem or the card reader's problem.

My hp dm3-3027cl card reader can not recognize the class 10 sdhc card

My hp dm3-3027cl card reader can not recognize the class 10 sdhc card. I downloaded and installed the card reader driver from HP web site for this dm3-3027cl, but still have same problem. There isn't a problem on class 6 SDHC card. It seems some other computers have the same problem on reading the class 10 SDHC card. My toshiba e105 laptop has no probblem to read class 10 SDHC card.

Hello snowman90024 and welcome to community,
Kindly install the USB and card reader driver then install cardreader driver and USB driver
Please let us know about the status after this.

Qosmio F15: card reader firmware upgrade to read type M xD cards?

I've done a little research and haven't found an answer to this question...
Is there a firmware upgrade to a Qosmio F15 laptop that will allow the multiple card reader to read Type M xD cards?
It reads the standard xD cards but I bought a 512Mb card and it will not read it.
Thanks

Some units support only a certain cards and not all card sizes.
Possibly this card is not compatible with the card reader slot.
I have investigated a little bit on the US Toshiba site and found out that this notebook supports secure digital cards 256MB SD-M256B3 and 512MB SDM5124B3
However, you can try to update the texas instrument flash media driver:
Have found this interesting Toshiba document:

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

Replacing defective graphics card in my HP Pavilion Elite m9361.uk-a

I have an old HP Pavilion Elite m9361.uk-a desktop pc, which I was planning on giving away to family. Unfortunately, the graphics card doesn’t work anymore. I’m looking to replace this with something similar or better if possible and just wondered what my options were. I just want something I can slot in without having to upgrade other hardware if possible. It was primarily used as a gaming pc (WOW) and will be in the future. The link above shows it’s current specifications.
Many thanks in advance,
Cadael

Hi,
Review this posted document. Do you have room for a double wide graphics card? If there is a PCI-E card installed in the adjacent slot then can you move it over?
Someone a while back posted a similar issue and did not want to upgrade the power supply and additionally the graphics card needed to be a single slot card. hmmmm I did find a solution for that issue but it was a challenge. You might want to search the forum and see if you can find the solution.

HP Pavilion Elite PC Graphics Card upgrading questions.

Hi,
This is my computer http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-pavilion-elite-e9220y/4505-3118_7-33777303.html, scroll down for the specs. Im a big pc gamer and the graphics card I currently have is good but im looking to push further and get a better one. Mainly looking to get a more powerful graphic card that is compatible with the processor I currently have. If anyone can list me better graphic cards that are compatible please list all of them intill I would need to upgrade my proccesor, Thank you.

Your PC is spec'd with a 300 watt power supply. Unplug your PC and open it up. Read the label on the power supply. What is the total wattage and the 12+ volt amperage? Also, is the slot next to the video card (PCI-E x16 slot) open? The e9920y specifications and motherboard.
If your PC only has a 300 watt power supply, then depending on the 12+ volt amperage you have limited choices of video graphics cards without replacing the power supply. You probably can get the NVIDIA Geforce 220 GT to work but nothing faster. For a gamer, the GT 220 is not the best choice but it's faster than your ATI Radeon HD 4350. At this point, you will need to replace the power supply and install a new video card if your want something faster.
Review the ATI and NVIDIA performance specifications. Look at the memory bandwidth specifications and the DirectX level support.

New graphics card not working in old Pavilion elite

Hey, so i bought a new graphics card, ASUS strix 750ti oc ed., when i plug it in to my Pavilion elite hpe 531sc i get a blue screen with the hp logo and a text saying 'press esc for startup menu' or something like that. Pressing esc does nothing, pressing any other button does me nothing either.
I tried plugging in the old graphics card, it still sort of works except i cant really play games or get my resolution above 800x600, and install the drivers and all for the new graphics card. But the new graphics card still dont work when plugged back in.
So im at a loss here, is my desktop simply too old or something?

Seeing alot of postings about trying that card. See this thread on a possible solution:
