    SD/TF reader can only read normal SD cards and not micro ones.


    My PC has a built in card reader that can read both micro SD cards and normal SD cards. Normal SD cards work perfectly. When I insert a micro SD card, it makes the 'device connected' sound, but shows up in Windows explorer as a USB drive with no disk inserted. Whether I have a normal SD card or a micro SD card inserted, it shows up as a USB mass storage device in Device Manager, which the drivers are up to date for. I have also tried reinstalling it to no avail. The fault is definitely not with the micro SD card as I have tried multiple, which all work on other devices but not my PC. What can I do?

    :)

    Micro sd to sd card adaptor...

    Wow... That's expensive considering that the opposite adapter sells for about a dollar.

    This looks much cheaper. I believe does the same job. And it should be much cheaper. If I am not mistaken these are passive adapters.

    SD card/SD card reader no longer working

    Hi. New to this so not sure of category.
    I have a Lenovo G70. Windows 10, 64bit
    My SD card reader has stopped working.
    In Device Manager, the SD card is not listed.
    I can't format the card as it is not listed.
    I cannot locate the card at all as it is not listed anywhere.
    I've tried chkdsk and get 'Cannot open volume for direct access'
    I don't even have the icon displaying when micro SD card is inserted.
    It did work previously but I had errors. Scanning and fixing did not help.
    I place the SD card in my Android phone and it works fine.
    Please help!
    Thank you for any assistance.
