SD Card reader not reading SD Cards

Hey there, its me again. Yesterday I tried the card reader that is built into the laptop yesterday, and to my disappointment, it simply didn't work. I push the card in, and after I hear the click, it sits in the slot how it is supposed to. The light comes on for about a second, then shuts off right away. I've tried in Windows 7 64 bit and Windows xp 64 bit, and neither one responded despite having the right drivers and everything.
Any ideas, or was this just poor design, like the rest of the machine?

  • Flex 14 SD card reader not working with larger cards on Windows 8.1

    The card reader in my Flex 14 is behaving very oddly. When I insert a 16GB SDHC card it makes the 'USB inserted' noise and the card shows up under device manager but I can't access it through file explorer. The card reader works fine with smaller SD cards that I have. I tried the card in another, Win7 laptop and it worked fine.
    I see a number of other people are having a similar problem and I have followed all of the troubleshooting advice I can find, but nothing is working. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
    This is what I have tried:
    1. Leaving the card in the camera and attaching the camera via USB cable to the laptop: same result, noise, but can't access the card.
    2. Trying to reassign the drive letter through storage controller: it shows the card but if you right click it to assign it a drive letter it says the 'file is missing'.
    3. Downloaded the Win8.1 x64 driver from Lenovo website and installed. This stopped the card being recognised at all.
    4. Installed the Win8 xc4 driver: this got me back to the noise but no action stage.
    5. Updated Windows.
    6. Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver numerous times both with the card inserted and without it and with restarting the computer after unistall and after reinstall.
    7. Ran Ubunutu from a live USB: This allowed me to see the card and copy its contents to the laptop's HDD.
    So it seems to be some incompatibility between the Lenovo drivers and Win8.1. Potentially it's to do with the USB drivers rather than the card reader drivers as the result when using the USB cable and the camera was the same as putting the card in the card reader. Is there a way to update these?
    Any other troubleshooting steps I could take?
    Thanks.

    What size are the cards?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Media Card Reader does not work on W541 (is O2Micro, not the RealTek)

    Can not read an SD card on my W541.  It reads fine on a W530. Reviewed the ReadMe, and tried to find the driver in the WIndows "Device Manager" but no luck.Experimented and found that if I did the following:Brought up Device ManagerUnder "View" menu, chose "Devices by Type" (this should really be in the instructions, although perhaps not necessary).Under "Action" menu, chose "Scan for hardware changes"found that the node labelled "Storage Controller" finally appeared (towards the bottom, just above "Storage Volumes")  There was one entry under the node, that of "ByHubTech/O2Micr Integrated MMC/SD controller".  The icon preceding this entry had a yellow triangle, so at least the system detected something was wrong. Right clicked on the entry and chose "Properties" and resulting dialog had the following text in the "Device Status" area (on the "General" tab): This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.
    (Code 12)
    If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. I have no idea what "resources" are being referred to in the message (a case of "I've got a secret"?), so it is a little hard for me to understand what other devices I might want to free up. Bios is version 2.20The "BayHubTEch/O2Micro Integrated MMC/SD controller" driver version is 2.2.2.1057 (which is the latest as of 6/26/2015).Runnin Win 7 Enterprise + SP1, 32GB RAM.

    Hello,
    I don't have a W541 myself, but here are a few things to check, in no particular order:
    Have you checked with your IT department?  Maybe they set a poilicy to disable the card reader.
    Is the card reader correctly enabled in the UEFI firmware?
    Have you run ThinkVantage System Update and Microsoft Update to confirm all of the various Lenovo and Microsoft updates are installed?
    Do you still have the OS image the device originally shipped with?  If so, does the card reader work under that?
    Regards,
    Aryeh Goretsky
     

  • Why does my card reader not work on my iPad since upgrade?

    I use my iPad mini to download photos from my camera when I'm on the road. In the summer I bought the "3 in 1 Card Reader Adapter Cable Camera Connection Kit, 3 Port Card Reader for iPad 4 and iPad Mini by Eurekka" and it worked wonderfully. I was able to download photos (jpg and RAW) directly to the iPad and off the camera, and once home it was a flawless upload to my iMac.
    However, once I upgraded to iOS 7 last week I get a message saying the device is not supported. What gives? Will this be fixed or will Apple products only accept Apple accessories from now on?

    No but I was just trying to find a way in to your help desk. I didn't find 
    your web page very helpful in this regard.

  • SanDisk USB 3.0 Card Reader does not work with OSX Mavericks.

    Since updating to OSX Mavericks (10.9) My  USB 3.0 SanDisk "ImageMate All-in-One" Card Reader has begun to fail.
    It all seems to work proper at first. The memory card shows up in finder and I'm able to browse the files. But when I try to transfer any files it un-mounts from finder and only transfers the first file.
    This does not happen under previous OSX versions. I have tried on other computers since, so the card reader is fine.
    My USB 2.0 card reader saved my life this time. It works totally fine.
    Is this a known problem? Are you guys working on it?

  • 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?

    [Edited by: admin]

    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

  • Re: SD reader - did not work with 8gb card

    Thanks

    Hi
    I dont know what notebook you have but did you check the user manual? There you can find a list what types of SD cards are supported.
    Check this!!!
    Some notebooks can only read SD cards but not SDHC cards.

  • Camera connective kit does not work with card reader

    Can I only use my USB camer connective kit with my camera and not a card reader?

    Which card reader? Are you using an SD card in it or some other form factor?
    As long as you're targeting an SD card with photos or movies, it should work same as connecting to a camera....but in that case, there is really no need since the camera kit includes an SD reader.

  • 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.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    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.

  • Laptop will not read any memory cards

    Laptop Model: Satellite P500 (PSPE8C-026006)
    I have tried several times to get this memory card reader to work. At first, I tried putting in a memory stick PRO Duo with the memory stick pro adapter (so that it could read it), and I was getting a "File I/O" error and that the stick had to be formatted. I tried again with several other different sticks and got the same error. I then tried to update the drivers for the device and still no luck. But now, the memory stick is not even being detected at all.
    Could someone please give me a good link to the latest driver for this memory card reader + how and where the device will appear on the Device Manager list so I know it's properly installed.

  • 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!

    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!

  • In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & SD card reader not working

    In my macbook pro hdmi, usb & sc card reader not working.
    i have tried the SRM reset done, till not working started.
    Could you please resolve this problem,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Simply take it to an Apple Store or reseller if it's in warranty. Your Mac will be repaired or replaced for free because it looks a hardware problem rather than a software issue.
    If it's not in warranty, hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting up, and reinstall OS X. If it doesn't work, you can't do much more to solve the problem

  • My mid 2010 Macbook pro running OSX 10.8.4 sd card reader will not work

    I have a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 model running OSX 10.8.4.  I don't use the card reader very often so I can't tell you the last time it worked, but I have used it a few times without issue.  (probably not for at least a year though)
    I searched the forums and it seems this was an older problem with lots of suggested fixes.  I tried blowing air through the slot and I also went looking for XQuartz but cannot find it under my utilities.  (I assume it must be in the X11 category that is no longer supported under 10.8.4?)
    I have tried putting it in all the way and pulling it out slightly as one person suggested and that also did not work.
    Any ideas?  For the first time in a long time I need the card slot and it doesn't feel like cooperating.  LOL
    edited to add that I am trying to access a Sony SDHC 32GB card model SF-32NX
    Thanks in advance,
    Wayne

    If you haven't already done so, eject the card by dragging its icon to the Eject icon in the Dock (where the Trash icon usually is.) Make sure the write-lock switch on the card is in the unlocked position. Then reinsert the card and test.
    If there's no change, and the same happens with more than one card, the card reader is stuck in write-locked mode. I don't generally advise do-it-yourself hardware repair, but one ASC member managed to fix this problem. I haven't tried the fix myself and I can't offer any guidance beyond what's in that discussion. If you cause damage, don't expect your warranty to cover it. I suggest you instead make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • My Mac Pro will read thumb-drive but not CF card reader

    Can someone help me resolve this problem?
    I just erased everything off my Mac Pro and reconfigured everything (as new). I installed all my programs, primarily Aperture3 and Photoshop CS5
    (using Leopard).
    I had NO problem uploaded some photos into Aperture3 from a thumb drive using the USB port, BUT,
    when I tried to upload photos from my card reader the MacPro does not recognize the card reader using the same USB port.
    I figured the problem was a bad card reader, so I tested it on my PC and it recognized the card reader and uploaded all the photos.
    Also, the card reader's green light turns on when attached to the MacPro, as if it is working and connected but it does not register in Finder or desktop to indicate that the card reader is installed.
    I even tried to upload directly from my Canon 7D and it also did NOT recognize the camera.
    Why would the MacPro recognize the thumb drive on the same USB port and not the card reader or the camera?
    Please help!
