    Internal SD Card Reader is not detected


    I have a Lenovo T450 laptop with Windows 7 installed and it has an internal SD card reader. I installed the drivers for it, which were on the Lenovo website, but it isn't being detected by Windows it doesn't show up in Device Manager and explorer. The files and utilities did seem to install. I did also to install the drivers manually without success. I've tried to install the drivers multiple times, but they were never detected. When I plug in an SD card, it of course doesn't show up. The SD card itself is working fine.If someone helped me with this problem, I would be very grateful.Thank yo

    :)

    Internal SD card reader not recognized

    Internal Laptop/PC SD Card readers are usually a USB device, connected to a USB hub, very common. So is the internal Camera on my Laptop.

    The usual problem is poor contacts. I clean the SD card reader by blowing out dust and inserting a small piece of card dampened with alcohol. The SD card contacts get the same treatment. Some of my SD Cards seem to have more of a problem than others.

    You can also shine a torch into the slot and check on the contacts, are they in line, same height, etc.

    Internal SD card reader not recognized

    Can you explain this?
    An internal Card Reader would not connect via USB. Only an External USB Card Reader would. An internal card reader would connect with a cable directly to the motherboard and not USB.
    If an external USB Card Reader, be sure to plug the USB cable/connector into the Back USB ports of the desktop computer and not the Front or thru a Hub. As these ports diminish the power and have a hard time connecting a Mass Storage device, like a card reader.
