Sd Card Reader disappeared !
Greetings.
About 2 days ago, my internal sd card reader disappeared from vista. Until this time it works perfectly ( it was accessable via "computer" as removable drives ) but after formatting my system and performing Windows updates, it's gone. Usb drive on card reader still works but sd card slot not responding. I've already tried reinstalling drivers, also installing a clean Vista but nothing changed. And also tried activating removable drives management from Vista options. I think hardware is still ok but how can i use it again ? Thanks in advance. |

If you looking in Device Manager does the SD card reader show up? If not,
trying right clicking on your computer name at the root of the device tree and clicking "Scan for hardware changes." "heartglen" wrote: Greetings.

Something you could try doing is uninstalling the drivers for the USB root
hubs. As long as you make sure NOT to check the box "delete driver software" they should reload the driver on restart. This has been known to correct internal card reader problems in the past.

I doubt it's related to the BIOS.
If you look in disk management do you see the card readers listed? There should be a drive letter assigned to them. If there's not, you can right click and add them that way.

see card reader as drivers in my computer. but i can't remember how they listed in device manager. i can only see usb hubs listed . ( screenshot is attached ) "C. J.

My internal card readers disappeared twice a while back and so I removed the
cover, located the connection, disconnected the drives from the motherboard, reconnected them and hey presto they reappeared. I have no idea why it happened but it certainly did the trick, whereas nothing else did! Good luck. Paul "heartglen" wrote: Greetings.

Hi, This happened to me aswell, following the good advice here I then, following shut down, switched off the power supply, and then switched it back on and during start-up the sweet green light reappeared.A default setting kicks in I suppose. Big tip as from other posts do not use safely remove hardware for the cards! -- henryhiggins |
