I have an HP Pavilion with a built in card reader. A green LED light glows when it reads the card but it is not lighting up. I an trying to use an SD card. Is there a way to enable it?
Ours is occasionally sensitive about that card slot, too. Sometimes we think it's because, mi esposa works outside a lot and has gotten some dust on the SD card she uses on the camera. All we've figured out to do is, carefully dust off the card (canned air) before inserting; make danged sure you're inserting it right. Sometimes, pulling it out and pushing it back in, gently of course, works. Ours no longer pops up with that little window about Whadya wanna do with this carddisplay it in a browser or download pictures orDo Nothing - you know the one). We've gotta pop it in and then go to My Computer and find it as a removable disk (drive E) and then find the files If all else fails, for about $30 you can pick up a little adapter that holds the SD card and lets you slide it into a USB port. I use that to read the cards on my Mac which doesn't have a slot like our HP does.
