    SD card slot not working.


    This is a used Toshiba laptop I got a month ago. The previous owner said he never used the SD card slot. I know why, because it's not working. When I slide any SD card in, the light comes on for 1 second and then comes off. The card is not recognized. Needless to say, I know the cards are good because they work everywhere else, including a USB card reader I have.

    I checked Device manager and I don't see a problem. I believe the SD card reader is the "USB Mass Storage Device"?

    I ran troubleshooting and it found that there is a problem with PnP devices and an "unknown device doesn't have a driver". It didn't find a solution or the driver.

    I went to the Toshiba site and downloaded a couple of card reader driver versions.
    Can someone please tell me the sequence, I uninstall, reboot, install new driver?

    Thanks!

    There is a program called AIDA that you can download from here:

    EVEREST Ultimate Edition - PC Diagnostics | Lavalys.com

    Run it and under Windows Devices look for unknown devices. Click on the unknown device and it will tell you what the device is, probably the SD Card reader. Download the drivers for it from Toshiba and install.

Hello all, I searched but did not find any threads on a USB 3.0 card. So if I missed one just hit me over the head okay. Now for the question, I see lots of back panel USB 3.0 cards for PCIe slots. But can you plug that card into a PCI-Ex16 slot AND have it work? Or will they only work...
Hello everybody. Since sending a motherboard in for rma is both money-sink (need to ship it to them, a replacement unit and to reinstall windows) and an excruciating wait (weeks? months?) I'd like to try absolutely everything I can before I do. Two months ago everything was working fine, then...

Hey, I've finally decided to buy a new graphics card. It wouldn't fit in my current PC case, nor would my current PSU. Therefore I have to buy a new PSU and a new PC case too. I will move pretty much everything except the old PSU and graphics card (GT 320) to the new case. The card I intend to...
