    SD card slot not working?


    I have a Dell e5430 laptop (refurbished) that is in very good condition with a 250 gig SSd, 8 gig of ram running Windows 10 pro. Everything from start up onward is lightening fast, the USB ports all work as does the DVD re-writer.
    But even though I am almost certain that the SD card slot has never been used as it still has the factory Dell blank inserted, I cannot get the laptop to recognise an SD card, and I have tried several that I know are working because they come from my other two laptops.
    I was wondering if there was something in the BIOS that I needed to activate to get the laptop to see the SD card? Or is there something else I have missed?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

    :)

    SD card slot not working?

    My Dells all came with that 'blank' as a protection against foreign objects getting into the slot. They pop out when pressed to release, just as the SD/SDHC card does.

    One caveat with those memory cards, if also being used in a camera be sure to format them in the camera, may not work properly if formatted in a computer.

    Also in formatting, Windows has a limit of 32GB with FAT32 formatting which also has a single-file size of 4GB, + or - about 1MB.

    SD Card Slot

    • Can said SD card be read on other systems?
    • Is the device driver for the SD reader connected/internal to your computer installed and working properly?
    • Can it read other SD cards?
    • What file format is the SD card in question formatted with?
