memory card reader not recognised

pipmoss

Hi Guys

Ive had a look at previous threads but they all appear to be quite old.

I have an Integral usb2 card reader when i connect it to my desktop pc it works fine,however when i connect it to my laptop the reader is not recognised. I know that my usb ports are working on the lappy.

I have windows 7 on the lappy.

could this be part of the problem?

Hope to hear from you soon

Have you tried a different usb lead

Hi Thanks for that.

The card reader pugs directly into to usb on the laptop so there is no cable. As I said before the card reader works in my desktop pc but not on my laptop ??? Desktop os is xp and laptop os is windows 7 could this be the cause ???

Thanks in advance

Windows 7 is not a problem with my ageing USB devices, so yours should be OK.
After looking at a picture of integral card readers maybe the card reader is not inserting fully into your laptop and not making connection.
I had a similar problem with a cheap MP3 player where the bulk of the device was stopping it being plugged into the recessed USB port.

Most modern laptops have a built-in card reader, what type is your laptop?

Just my 2d worth, Dave

Hi Dave thanks for the quick reply the laptop is a lenovo.

It has three usb sockets and they all work. I know this because my other peripherals all work.

Hope you can make sense of this reply.

Thanks
