Default sd card slot not working properly


Hi all to can help me. I had my pc down for a day or 2 so i could move
it to another room. When i stick my memory card in, the pc does nothing.
But before it would. It had no problem recongizing it. I have 3
different cards and tried all 3 of them. Ive gone into device manager
and its not in there, but says the device is working properly.I used my
usb sd reader and that works fine. I was able to open all 3 cards and do
whatever. if anyone can help me figure out y this would all of a sudden
do this to me after working perfectly fine before it would be of great
help!

You moved the PC, so there is a chance that cable, etc. got jarred loose.
How is "Memory card" device connected to your motherboard, via a data cable?
Is there also some kind of power cable involved? You'll need to go inside
the case and follow all involved cables from the device to the motherboard
or power source and ensure that both ends are fully plugged in as the next
step in isolating your problem.

I have no idea how anything is hooked up inside. it's not even a month
old yet and when dealing with moving pcs i am always very careful with
them. Ive moved my old one numerous times but it doesnt have the memory
card slots to worry about. ive been half tempted to contact hp. I was
told not to tell them i moved it :zip: when i get the chance tonight i
will take off the cover and see what i can find and let you know. I do
know that when i stick the card in the little light does light up. so it
is recognizing that there is something in the slot, just not going any
farther than that.

Can you mention the model number of the system which you have, so that
we can hel you find the exact place the cable is located on the system.

If it's less than a month old, return it to the seller and tell them to fix
or replace it. Most reputable retailers offer at least 30 days to do this.
My previous response *assumed* the box was out of warranty. What you have is
a "manufacturing defect" as the computer certainly should survive being
moved around with due care. I'd go to HP tech support as option 2 if the
store won't deal with it. Exercise your rights under the warranty (and be
insistent if necessary).

okay so i took the cover off and checked all wires. Everything is in
tack. Nothing loose broke ect.I went back and looked and i had purchased
it on feb 17th. I think i will just contact hp and ask them what to do
about it. I thought maybe it was something i had done wrong but ive had
a few people tell me to contact them, that there should be nothing wrong
with it. This is just my luck tho. I slacked on getting a new
pc and now that i have one i got problems with it. i will let ya know
what hp tells me.
