Pavilion dv6 3225dx sd card reader stopped working

The built in SD card reader on my pavilion dv6 3225dx has stopped working. I'm running Windows 7 and never had a problem but now nothing happens when the sd card is inserted Please help.

Hi,
Have you tried to use other card(s) ? Something like the following one may help:

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 Pavilion DV7 1240us Express Card Slot Stopped Working

My express card slot stopped working.
The tech I was working with for the HP tuner card seems to think it is a driver or hardware issue.
Please see the email string below.
I tried all I know to get the slot to work, but I do not know which driver for it.
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Below are the emails.
Thanks, the problem is I do not know which driver it is.
I looked through the entire device manager tree, and do not know which driver controls the express slot, can you send me in the right direction?
I have an HP Pavilion DV& 1240us laptop.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Without inserting another device into the slot the only thing I can think of is checking device manager for the drivers for that express slot and see if they are installed or reinstall the drivers.
If the device works on another laptop but continues to have problems on the first one then there must be something going on with the express slot on the first laptop.

No I do not, have you had this type of issue before?
Could it be missing or corrupt drivers?
Is there a way to test the slot without a device, checking drivers etc..

Yes it is connected directly, it does not even get recognized by device manager.
No default beep when plugging and unplugging.
IT USED TO WORK NO PROBLEM.
It will work in another laptop.
I am a tech by trade, so if I have to edit the registry, etc.. let me know.
Right now I am baffled, what can I do.

Hello,
Are you making sure to connect the 1500 directly into the express slot in the laptop and into a usb converter?
When it is plugged in does anything appear in device manager with a yellow mark next to it? Is it being listed under sound, video, game controllers at all?

Problem description: My tuner stopped working,I used HWclear to no avail.
The tuner works in another laptop, so it is not the hardware.
Will not make the customary sound when plugged and unplugged.
I am very PC savy and tried all I know, driver reinstall etc..
Please help.
Thanks

Hey there,
Can you explain more on this issue? I see by the emails the Express card slot is not functioning. What you are using in the card slot? Is the the HP TV Tuner card? If so, do you have another express card handy so you could test to see if it was the card or the slot? If your missing the driver you will need to use the HP Recovery CD to reinstall the TV Tuner driver.

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

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!

HP Pavilion dv6 All 4 USB ports stopped working

Hello,
I recently bought a Pavilion dv6-6c11sa laptop. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Everything was working fine for about a week, and then yesterday all of the USB ports stopped working. I have 4 USB ports in total, two 2.0 and two 3.0. No matter what peripheral device I plug in, mouse or flash drive etc, they're not recognized by the laptop. The lights don't even light up on the devices, regardless of the port. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers in device manager, taking out the battery and rebooting, installing the chipset drivers (AMD), nothing works. No programs had been installed 3 days prior to the occurence, although I had rebooted several times in that time frame. I simply booted up the laptop yesterday, and nothing worked.
Could anyone offer a solution or suggestion, please?

SanDisk Card Reader stopped working with OS X 10.4.7

I have an older SanDisk single smart card reader, model SDDR-55. It worked fine with 10.2, but I cannot seem to get it to work with 10.4.7.
When I reinstall the SanDisk driver (the most recent download available from them) and restart, I get an error when connecting the reader to my USB hub.
The error says, "The system extension '/System/Library/Extensions/OnUSBMassStorageClass.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.'"
I have tried reinstalling, deleting the /System/Library/Caches files, restarting, calling SanDisk to make sure the latest driver works with 10.4.7. "It should", they tell me. So I am out of ideas. If anyone knows how to fix this please help me out. Thanks in advance!
G4 Yikes! Tower Mac OS X (10.4.7) 400 MHz / 100GB HD

I know what you mean. My Zio smart media reader will not work either. if I install the driver and immediately use the card reader, it will work.
Once I repair permissions, the reader will not work until I reinstall the driver again. Very frustrating.

Scroll bar on my hp pavilion dv6 laptop touch pad has stopped working in Firefox but works in all other software packages, eg Outlook, Chrome, IE9, iTunes, etc?,

This problem started in the last 24 hours.
I've tried completely shutting down my laptop and restarting, but the problem remains.

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

Pavilion dv6 sd card reader not working

I have searched the boards and have not found an answer to my built in SD card reader not working any more. It worked fine until a couple weeks ago. When I go to "my computer", the sd card does not show up as an available drive. I have tried several cards with no luck. The cards work fine when I use a USB card reader, just not the built in one.
I checked the driver in device manager - at least the one I believe is the correct one - Realtec PCIE Card Reader.
Any other ideas? It is a pain having to carry around an extra card reader. Thanks for the help
rv9a
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Good morning rv9a.
Prior to the uninstall did the computer make a noise to indicate it recognized the card when you put it in?
You should go ahead and reinstall the specific driver for the card reader just to make sure that doesn't have an effect on the issue. Here is the link for Windows 7 and here is the link for Windows 8.
Another possibility is the the Plug and Play service is deactivated. Try the following to check.
Press the Windows+R keyboard shortcut.
Type "services.msc" into the box and click okay.
Scroll down until you find "Plug and Play" in the list.
Ensure that it is started. If it is not right-click on the service and select Start or Enable.
I'll keep an eye out for your response; have a great day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
