SD card missing?

[pilotbob]

Hi All,

 

My Lenovo 3000 N200 with XP3 is no longer showing the SD drive in My Computer, when I insert a card the led used to flicker for a while and the card was visible in explorer or My Computer but not now. Any ideas???

 

Bob.

Have you checked in device manager that the card reader is visible to windows?

If the SD card is still inside the camera then you may need to turn the camera on when it is connected to the PC

Hi,

 

If you are putting the card into an integrated card reader it should show up in Device Manager in "Disk Drives" - click the + ( this is where mine appears ).

 

Start > Run .....type in .....devmgmt.msc ....ENTER

This will get you to Device Manager.

 

Do you have / can you borrow a USB card reader to see if your card can be read with that?

The SD slot is integrated into the laptop MB but isn't visible in device manager under disk drives. I've tried 3 cards and none of them show up. All the cards work fine in another PC

 

I've tried updating the driver for the "Secure Digital Compliant SD Host Controller" still no joy.

Where have you sourced the drivers from?

 

According to the Lenovo website it has a Ricoh card reader:-

are these the drivers you were using

Lenovo Support - RICOH CardReader driver for Windows XP - 3000 N200 (type 0769)

Also .....

 

Start > Run ....type in ......services.msc .......ENTER

Scroll down to Smart Card and check that this service is set to Manual or Auto

It should not be "Stopped" or "disabled".
