Media Card Reader

[Frodo Baggins]

Very quick question that I'm hoping has a quick answer: My 5 in 1 media card reader won't detect my camera's SD media card for some reason. This is a recent problem, and it's had no problems a month or so ago.

The thing was plug and play so there were no drivers. I have tested the USB drive also on the reader and it works fine.

I'm not sure what to do...

I would say start by testing the card in another reader just to ensure thats not the problem, if you have one available to test in.

Card works in the camera.

The SD part of the reader might have died (or it might not have), but since those things are so cheap anyways, I'd get a new one and forget troubleshooting if it takes too long.

 

[Mr. Roboto]

Yeah, it happens. When I first got my reader, everything but the SD port worked.

Does the SD drive show up in my computer?

 

[Frodo Baggins]

Oh hell. I fixed the problem. Dunno what it was though. I turned off the PC, shut off the power to the mobo, wiggled the USB connectors, and it detected my SD card on bootup.

Thanks anyways.
