T420 Base System Device Driver not working W7

Hello,
After reinstalling W7 the lenovo solution center was complaining saying that the System Device Driver is not working.
I saw that the SD card reader was not working neither so I assumend the missing driver was that one.
From the Lenovo page I dowloaded the driver for the Multi Card port for W7 and T420. After installing it the message dissapeared and the SD cards were recognized properly.
However, after rebooting the system, after a while, the mesage appeared again and the card reader stopped working.
I did install it again and the same happened. It was working and after two reboots stopped working.
If find this quite misterious. I wonder If anyone knows how to fix this.
Solved!

Hi Zardoz,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you are facing the issue with SD card reader on ThinkPad T420.
This kind of issue will occurs if there is any issue with drivers, hence I suggest you to uninstall the recent installed card reader driver from your system through Control panel – Program & feature option and restart the system.
After restarting the system please download & install ThinkVantage system update utility from Lenovo support site, after the installation run the program so that it will search for all the required drivers and application for your system.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download latest application accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

  • Base System Device driver in WIndows 7

    I recently installed WIndows 7 on my Lenovo 3000 G430 system, and all the drivers except for a few got installed automatically during the installation process...
    But then I noticed in Device Manager, I have 2 devices that are listed under 'Other Devices' that don't have a driver installed. I tried a direct search for drivers online, but it couldnt find any.
    Both of them are by the title 'Base System Device'.
    I checked the Lenovo wesite for drivers, but there are no drivers listed for WIndows 7. A few guys had raised this issue in the forum previously too, but they were not using Windows7, and I did not have this issue when I was using Vista...
    Please help...

    Hi tusharkaul,
    Try below to identify what components they are.
    Check the Device ID to find our its description:
    Right click the unknown device and choose Properties.
    Go to 'Details' tab.
    Choose 'Hardware ids' from the Property drop down list
     Take the IDs and google them and find out the descriptions of the devices. You should know what you are missing.

  • Missing drivers after fresh installation of window 7 the base system device missing.

    missing driver on  HP pavilion dv4 the base system device drive,as a result of these i cant access sound on system.

    Hi:
    The base system device is most likely your card reader.
    Missing audio is related to something else.
    On the bottom of your PC on the sticker with the serial number, please post your p/n.
    That will identify the specific model of your dv4 and I can send you the link to the drivers.
    The p/n should be arranged similar to this:  AF846AW#ABA

  • Upgraded to windows 7 now my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working!

    I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Business to Windows 7 Ultimate and my Base System Device and Fingerprint Reader isn't working.  I've tried reading advice off of some forums here and even checked out what I can download from this site and also tried updating but each time it either says could not find updates, or when I  try dowloading from this site it says the program may have not installed correctly.  I'm stuck I don't know what else I can do, can someone help, I would appreaciate it greatly!
    CheerGurl313

    Ah if only life were so simple. I have been without a soundcard ever since upgrading to Windows 7, have spent hours on the Lenovo site trying to locate a driver, filling in all those little boxes, time after time to no avail. The drivers, if they exist at all, are being kept secret. There can be no other explanation. Have the same problem with the fingerprint thingy, but not bothered as the kids had learnt to bypass it anyway.
    Enjoying windows 7 in complete silence. If anyone wants to advise downloading a driver then fantastic, but give us a clue where it is hidden.

  • PSE Backup wouldn't work: "CD device driver not installed; install PSE" didn't fix problem; Win7

    I'm trying to backup by photos for the first time! in Photoshop 5.0 on a Windows 7 system. I get to "Full Backup" option, and get a pop-up that says "CD device driver not installed; reinstall PSE". I put my PSE disk into my computer, select "Repair... installs... missing files"; PSE re-installs, but I get the same message again when I try to backup. How do I find a CD device driver? (My DVD is formatted, but PSE can't find it.)

    I just found a photoshop elements 5.0.2 update "patcher" and installed it. The install was successful but I still got the same message saying "CD device driver not installed". Might there be a problem since I'm now on Windows 7 and no longer on XP? I have no need to buy a newer version since Elements 5.0 does everything I need to do. Any other suggestions?
