Notebook card reader

chubchubcullen · Nov 19, 2006

I have a Gateway 3520GZ with a built in sd/mmc card reader. My card reader doesn't detect my sd card when I put it in. It worked when i first bought it almost 2 years ago but it stopped working like a year ago.. so i guess it some sore of software/registry conflict? anyone have any ideas?

Does the device still show up in My computer window? You could try uninstalling driver and reinstalling them or updating.

Does it read other cards? Or just not sd/ your sd card?
Ive seen computers every now and then get awefully confused with Sd cards

its only a sd/mmc card reader and i dont have any mmc cards to test it out.. but no luck getting it to work still

I have a new Dell E1705 which somtimes reads my cards instantly, sometimes it doesnt.

If I blow on the reader and put my card in it might work
If I put the card in and reboot it might work,
and hey, if I plug it in it MIGHT work.

I tried drivers, diagnostics, etc.

Maybe maybe it will work.

thats the gateway driver for it .. id suggest looking on xp updates to see if anything else picks it up ...

I know pre-SP2 when you plugged in an external Storage device and lets say you had 2HDs and 1 CD-ROM, or the other away around and it was taking up E, the external storage would not show up. I would un-install the device via device manager and re-installing using the gateway driver.

I'm really hesitant to update my windows.. ive had auto updates turned off for the longest time. im scared certain updates will slow down my system.
