If the SD card is a high capacity card (SDHC) the SD slot may not be capable of recognizing it. Suggest to try another SD card. If that still doesn't work find the drivers on your laptop manufacturers website.

SOURCE: nonworking SD card slot

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=395656&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=395654&swEnvOID=228&taskId=135&swLang=8#11318

This is the link for the drivers for your laptop, Cut and paste it into the address bar in your internet browser and it will bring you right to the download page. It will also have the manufacturers contact info so you can get in touch with them directly for free and get the driver for your card reader. If it is not showing up it is not installed(driver). I do not see it in the list of drivers but customer service will be able to send you the link for the driver you need. Once you install the driver you will be able to use your reader.
Also, The reader may not be capable of reading High capacity Cards. Any card over 2Gb is considered High capacity. This is the problem if you are trying to read HC cards in a standard capacity reader. The manufacturer will tell you whether or not it is a High capacity reader or not. If this turns out to be the problem you will just have to use an external USB HC card reader to read cards greater then 2 Gb. Hope you found this info helpful. And save the website in your favorite folder incase you ever need to download and install the other driver for your notebook.
Thanks
George

RCA Delta Pro 2 Won't Read SD Cards
It sounds like the tablet is having trouble reading your 128 GB SD cards.
There are a few things you can try to troubleshoot this issue:
  1. Check the SD card for any visible damage. If the card is physically damaged, it may not work correctly.
  2. Make sure that the SD card is properly inserted into the SD card slot on the tablet. It should fit snugly and be fully inserted.
  3. Check that the SD card is compatible with your tablet. Some tablets can only support SD cards up to a certain capacity or with a certain type of file system.
  4. If the SD card was working fine before and has suddenly stopped working, it's possible that the card has become corrupt. In this case, you may need to format the card to fix the issue.
  5. If none of these steps help, you may need to try a different SD card to see if the issue is with the tablet or the SD card.

I have a PNY usb 2.0 combo. The usb ports work fine and read external drives etc. The SD readers quit working. The SD cards read fine on the internal mounted reader. My PC recognizes the drives, and t
I bought a deer cam (trail camera) at Walmart and a PNY card with PNY Multi-Slot USB & Flash Card Reader P-UBSDRDR21K-RF. I can't make them all work for me. PNY card reader has no instructions on the package neither on their website and their support is a joke. When I plug in this multi-slot card reader into my PC (I tried two different PCs) something isn't right. I get no results, just empty folders. The card is new and has data on it. Both products come from PNY, both were purchased at Walmart and both are going back to Walmart for a full refund and I will never buy a PNY product ever again.

Why wont my computer recognize my sandisk memory card anymore
Sometimes it happens that your slot doesn't work you can use a another option like Olympus LS-10 digital recorder as a card reader for accessing the data. Insert the SD card in your LS-10 digital recorder then connect the recorder to the computer with a USB cord then it will show you two options for the onboard storage inherent and one for the SD-Card. Select first photoshop elements to read the card and then Windows Live photo Gallery to view and copy your photos.

    • 1 If your aim is to repair a corrupted SD card so that you can use it to store files then proceed to step #2.
      If your aim is to recover the files on the SD card without erasing them, proceed to step #5.

    • 4:You will need to go to the website
      http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/eula/

Have an HP L7680 all-in-one Just received a Panasonic Limuix camera and cannot read the SDHC memory cards in the SD slot - Printer posts an error
No, it's not possible, it'll never read SDHC in the SD slot. SD slot will only read SD, Mini SD (with adaptor) and Micro SD (with Adaptor). If there's no SDHC card slot, then it doesn't support SDHC Card. The lists of supported memory card are listed below:
CompactFlash™ Type I and II,
Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard/Secure MultiMediaCard (SD),
xD-Picture Card,
Sony Memory Stick®,
MagicGate Memory Stick,
Memory Stick Duo,
Memory Stick Pro


I hope this clears your doubt.


Note: SDHC and SD are different Memory Card types.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

My computer won't show my sd card on the screen
hello,

the reason your laptop wont show your sd card on the screen is because it is not reading the sd card.

it is not reading the disc either because
1. there may be a problem with the card reader,
2. there may be a problem with the slot on the laptop,
3. there may be a problem with the memory card.

to check if it is the card reader, try to use the same memory card reader with another sd card on another laptop and see if it will read it.

to check if it is the slot on the laptop, try to use a new sd card and a new card reader on the laptop to see if it works, if it does not, then you know where the fault is from.

finally, to test the sd card, try to use it on another laptop to see what happens. if it does not work then you can tell where the fault is from.

whichever the fault is, you can change them.

but if it is the card slot, you will have to open up the laptop and clean the slot carefully.

take care.

My SD card reader on my Sony Vaio will not read the card...it seems to know its in the slot, but won't read any data and says 'insert the SD card' if I go to computer and try to read it. Any thoughts?
Take a can of air and blow some into the slot to make sure dust or dirt isn't getting the way of that reader trying to read the sd cards.

If you still get the same message try another SD card in that reader or try to see if another computer will read your SD card, if another computer will read the SD card and the slot still won't recognize the sd cards properly, then you know at that point the reader is bad. If the reader is bad, thats integrated into the motherboard so the motherboard would need to be replaced.

Just bought 4GB SD card that hx4700 does not recognise - help pse
Your slot in the iPAQ is a SD slot, not a SDHC slot - therefore it will not read the card. Your PC card is probably a dual reader. The SD cards look the same but are different. Have a read of this...
