SD/SDHC/SDXC/MMC/MS/MS Pro card-reader slot not showing up in windows explorer.

I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre, purchased only four weeks ago. It product family is IdeaCentre k410, machine type 10089. Anyhow, the problem is: I inserted a microSD / microSDHC, both of which seem to fit into the slot fine, though neither registers under anywhere in windows explorer, neither in the root of C://, nor in any of the subdirectories, or on the main listing of mounted file systems. I used the Lenovo Driver Updater and re-installed the SD Card Reader driver, to no avail. Any help would greatly be appreciated. As well, the computer runs Windows 8, which has some features I'm unhappy with, and although this is not a windows forum and I don't mean to create a thread that deviates from lenovo-specific topics, I was wondering if there is anything in either the machine architecture or the software of Windows 8 that could hinder m in installing a dual-boot system so that I might have the option of running a variant of linux as a sub-operating system, as I did with windows XP.????? OK any help at all would be so greatly appreciated, thank in advance. I really want to be able to retrieve some writing files I have stored in that micro SDHC card. As another aside, does anyone know the max limit of RAM this computer can take and if it is DDR or some other type?

hi BrokenHalo,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Regarding your questions:
1. When you inserted the SD card, do you hear a sound that a device is inserted and under Device Manger, do you see a Card Reader?
If not, try to:
a. boot intto the BIOS by pressing F1, load defaults by pressing F9 then press F10 to save and exit BIOS.
b. Reseat the front panel connectors (see page 23 of the hardware maintenance manual)
2. To install linux (i.e. Ubuntu), see if you can install Ubuntu via UEFI. If you're unable to do so or if you want to install other OS, try to:
a. Boot into the BIOS by pressing F2 and set the following settings below
UEFI Boot Mode = Legacy
Secure Boot = Disabled (if applicable)
CSM = Disabled / Legacy or Other OS (if applicable)
OS Optimized Default = Disabled or Legacy (if applicable)
b. When finished, press F10 to save and exit BIOS then try to install Ubuntu via Wubi or insert your Windows installation disc to install a different OS.
3. As per this pdf data sheet, the Lenovo K410 has a max RAM of 8GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 but Crucial reports that this unit can take up to 16GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 - check this site.
Hope this helps

W520 Smart Card reader does not show up in Device Manager

W520 Smart Card reader does not show up in Device Manager.
It was working before and now nothing. Nothing happens when SD card plugges in.
Could my smart card reader stop working or is this a configuration issue?
Any thoughts?
thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,
Welcome to the community, and thanks for the post.
The issue is related with software, to resolve this you need to re-install the card reader driver from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_SG/downloads/default.page?
After that check if the issue get resolved.
Regards,
Sameer

Sd card reader does not show up as a external hard drive any were on my mac

i have a sd card reader that is run through usb. i plug it in whit my card in it that has files on it but the driver does not show up any were not on the desktop not any were ive gone through the trouble shooting on apples sight but no luck. any one have a idea?
the weird part about it is that it worked a few weaks ago no problem like i would just plug it in and it would show up on my desktop

It seems that Intel Macs have problems seeing (the media in) some USB storage devices.
For example I have a Zynet CR-T1-U28 8-in-1 memory card reader. It works A-OK on an old Powerbook running 10.3.9, and on several PPC-based newer machines running 10.4.10. The cards I've tried in it mount immediately and show up on the desktop (and iPhoto starts automatically if appropriate).
However none of the FAT-formatted cards I've tried will mount on any Intel-based machine I've tried it on (all have been running 10.4.10).
Here's how it shows up on my Macbook:
USB Storage Device:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Product ID: 0x3260
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Vendor ID: 0x0aec
And here's how it shows up on the old Powerbook:
USB Storage Device:
Capacity: 60.75 MB
Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: Yes
BSD Name: disk1
Vendor Name: Generic
OS9 Drivers: No
Product ID: 12896 ($3260)
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Bus Power (mA): 500
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Interestingly one kind of card I've tried, a Sandisk M2 card, the 64 MB card shown on the powerbook, mounts A-OK when it's in my Z710i phone and is connected via USB to the macbook. At first I thought the card reader could be at fault, but given the number of (admittedly vague) reports I've seen here today about similar problems with other devices I'm more inclined to blame some driver or kernel problem on Intel macs.
The following showed up for the first time ever in the console log during today's test to get the System Profiler data:
Jul 22 14:27:17 macweird kernel[0]: USBF: 773285.286 IOUSBCompositeDriver[0x60c0c80](USB Storage Device) GetFullConfigDescriptor(0) returned NULL

Satellite Pro A200: Card Reader does not work after XP installation

Hi...
I have removed Windows Vista from my Satellite Pro A200 in favour of XP Home.
I'm much happier with the machine now but am unable to get any response from the Card Reader. There's no mention of it in the User's Manual that came with the machine.
I can't find any reference to it in the Control Panel's Hardware Manager and nothing changes in there when I insert an SD memory card.
I didn't have cause to try the reader prior to removing Vista, so I don't know if it ever worked... although I imagine that it did.
Running a search for a driver in the download section didn't have any success and this forum has no direct answers.
Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this to work?
Popa Mintin.

Hi
I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
What you need is the right driver.
The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
Cheers

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.
Best Regards,
Tanuj

Satellite L650-116 memory card reader is not working

Hello
I have a problem with built-in memory card reader. Do not read my SD card at all, drivers installed.
Please help.

Hi
The notebook supports an BRIDGE MEDIA SLOT which support this card formats;
SD Card 8MB-2GB
SD-HC 4GB-32GB
Memory Stick 128MB-256MB
Memory Stick Pro 256MB-16GB
mini SD 32MB-2GB
SDXC 64GB
As you can see, the notebook is able to read max 2GB SD card.
The card reader will not read bigger SD cards.

I am unable to insert the Memory Stick into the card reader slot on my HP 7510

I have three Photosmart 7510's (C311a) and one Photosmart Premier (C310a). All of these printers have the identical Card Reader slot on the lower, left front corner. ALL four printers will not accept a standard Sony Memory Stick from my Sony digital camera. In all cases, the slot has two layers for "DUO SD MMC" chips and each will accept the "Sony Memory Stick Duo" without the silver and white MSAC-M2 Adaptor. No matter what I try, the Memory Sticks will not even start to go into the slot. I have looked into the slots with a fiber=optic flashlight attachment and there appears to be no issues -- except, possibly, the separator between the upper and lower part of the two-slot opening, is a little above center in the opening. Sitting in front of the 7510, I can look into the slot and see a white or very light gray surface that is sided to side across the opening, just inside the opening. When I get down and look into the slot at about a 'flat' angle, the white surface does appear to be just high enough that it partially obstructs the lower slot -- all the way across the slot.
I have tried four Memory Sticks and two Memory Stick Duo's, with and without adaptor. NOTE that the Memory Stick DUO, when NOT in the adaptor, will fit right into the upper part of the slot. However, with the Memory Stick Duo in its adaptor, and all the other Memory Sticks I have, none of them will start inot the upper or lower 'bay' in the slot opening.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I think I will declare this discussion closed. In an earlier post I said I would need to keep working at this problem until I seized up the right setting. Well for my 1080ii XDCAM EX 35 timeline, I have alredy tried a number of settings. The source WWV is 1280x720. The problem is stuttering video losing every other frame, audio popping or audio continuously losing a greater amount of sync. I tried APPLE TV 1280x720 in Compressonr (I'm still making more, not all have been tested.) The Apple TV h.264 works. It has to be rendered. I know some will say that's not optimal. I have put a lot of time into this with no other good results so I'm accepting this for now. I might be cooking up another right now in Compressor that will work better. Thanks to the posters.

HELP!!! My Card reader is not working!

My card reader is not working and this is extremely frustrating when trying to transfer data from one device to my my macbook pro. Is there any one out there that can help me with this issue?

Some people (me included) have found the problme to be a stuck contact inside the socket on the MacBook Pro. The far left contact appears to get stuck in the "inserted" position (depressed) and fails to signal to the computer that a new card has been inserted. This contact is partially hidded behind an alignment key molded into the socket. One fix is to carefully (and I mean carefully) use a toothpick to gently prod the contact into its "not-inserted" position (it will pop up and work afterwards). If you aren't comfortable doing this yourself, you can get an inexpensive card reader that connects via USB as a workaround.
If the computer is still under warranty (or you have AppleCare), take it in and let Apple or an AASP fix it for you.

How to remove SD Card from the Card Reader slot - Satellite A100?

Hi,
Is there anyone to help me? I inserted a 64 MB SD card in the card reader slot of my Toshiba A100 model. It's the first time i have inserted the card. The card is inside the slot. I can not take it out! I don't have any idea how to remove the card from the card reader slot. I can see the contents of my SD card, can open the files too. But how to remove it out from the slot. Please help me giving your idea to remove the card out from the slot.
Arjun

Hi
In my knowledge the SD card slot doesnt has a any additional helps like the PCMCIA slot to remove the card.
You have to remove it simply. Try to grab the card and move it out. You can try to use the pair of tweezers. Maybe it helps

My USB CF Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore. It was last week and worked fine to get pictures from my camera. Now it won't mount. I have tried another card reader and the same problem exists. Also tried different cards..

Hi
My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac.
I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
Buy a PC
Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
Many thanks in advance!

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

Inbuilt speakers, microphone & SD card reader slot is not working from day one

Dear friend
I bought my HP mini (model no. Hp Mini 110-3009TU; Sr. No. CNC02139GY) on 14th august 2010 from Home Comforts, MP Nagar Bhaopl, Madhya Pradesh, India. I bought it without any operating system and installed Linux [Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid)] on it. I'd like to inform you that it has two problems form day one.
First problem is with inbuilt speakers & microphone, which are not functioning. However my headphone are working with this laptop. So I believe there is no problem with sound related driver. I think it is a hardware problem.
Second problem is in SD card reader slot, which doesn't read inserted SD card.
I've gone to HP service centre situated in MP Nagar, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Experts over there said that they'll have to formate existing operating system (Linux) and need to install Windows to 'check' whether the said hardware(speakers, microphone & SD card reader) are working or not. Otherwise I've to bring one more laptop so same brand and same model, then only they can check by replacing parts.
Both the options they'd given were ridiculous! I didn't understood why they are forcing me to install Windows?
If HP is also selling laptops without any operating system, then it means the costumer is free to install any operating system of his/her choice. And why should I bring one more laptop? Doesn't your service centre equipped with proper instruments and expertise to check hardware of a laptop?
Pretty girls working in your service centre were totally unaware of card reader – how does it functions?
Even they didn't had any SD card to insert and check.
One among them told me in soft voice: “Sir, you'll have to purchase one 'Jack' for this.” When I inquired further what is 'Jack' and why should I have to purchase it when all other laptops doesn't need such jack? She gone mute as my inbuilt speakers.
Even if I do allow your service centre to install Windows to try out whether speakers, microphone and card reader is working or not, its sure 'experts' at your service centre will install pirated version of Windows. Is it not a malpractice? Does HP allow its service centre to do so??
And further, even if I ignore your malfunctioning for my benefit, could your service centre assure me that inbuilt speakers, microphone and card reader will function properly in Linux as well. Because I would like to continue using Linux.
I request you to look into the matter and tell me what to do.
regards,

Anyone know how much it typically costs to replace the card reader hardware? Mine isn't reading, however I reason to believe the hardware was damaged.
