HP ProDesk 400 G4 Desktop -
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought a: 

HP ProDesk 400 G4 Desktop - Intel Core i7 7700, 3.60GHz, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, Intel HD Graphics 630, D...

from Tiger.  They didn't offer a SD Card.  I know one is available.  How do I get it?  It looks easy to add in the Manual.  The slot is already in my unit.  When I try to contact HP all they are interested in is to sell me something expensive.  Thay are no help at all.  Any ideas?

@ecamin2,

Alas, I did fully understand you wanted the Card Reader Module.

I tried to find the part number, but to no avail. That is why I asked you !!

 

I  called HP, and was told you could email:

hpparts.sales.ams@hp.com

Inquiry should state HP computer model, and that you want the Secure Digital (SD) 3 reader.

Although the build cost from HP is $7 (when you order a custom build from HP direct), you should expect a different cost (product and shipping).  Not sure what you saved compared to a custom build from HP, as that is now "moot".

Tiger has a number of SD cards available, or you should be able to pick one up at any computer store.

 

I moved your post from the Sprocket (printer forum) to one more appropriate.

My problem is I want to add a sd slot to my new comp.  Had I ordered it from HP they would have added it.  

i got it from Tiger :

  HP ProDesk 400 G4 Desktop - Intel Core i7 7700, 3.60GHz, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, Intel HD Graphics 630, D...

and they don't have a answer.  But I know HP does.  How do I order the one from HP.  It is listed at $7.00 as a add on if I had ordered it from them.  It's a replacement part.  The connection is on my Motherboard.  The slot is on my case.  The manual shows how easy it is to add.  But how do I order it? HELP!

@ecamin2,

As you realized, the physical SD card reader is an optional item.  Do you have the part number ?

As near as I can tell it is listed in the service manual (page 25) as Card Reader Module.  I don't need any SD cards.  I need the module that could have been in my machine if Tiger had specified it.  It looks easy enough to install if only I could know how to order it.  HP keeps themselves protected against non service folks contacting them.  This is my only way to get an answer.  It was listed as only $7.00 if it came with the machine. Alas, it didn't. Can you imagine Tiger leaving it off for just $7.00?  I'm surprised HP doesn't make it standard.  Almost everyone uses a card slot.  I just don't like danglers and dongles.  Part #?  How do I get one?  The slot and connectors are on my machine.  A one screw change.  Remove screw, remove dummy plug, add module, replace screw, plug in cable to MB. Turn on Machine.  When I ordered the computer I saw the slot on the photo.  I just didn't read the fine print to find it was just a dummy plug.

HP SD 3 MEDIA CARD READER for HP Prodesk 400 G4:

Ref : Y4Q92AV

Spare Number: 905606-001

HP Recommended

Thanks, from Y4Q92AV I found it at howardstore.

I ordered the 905606-001 HP SD 3 MEDIA CARD READER, but it doesn't fit in the HP ProDesk 400 G4 Tower PC (5193082-03 1JJ56EA#ABH).  The ProDesk 400 G4 looks like a click and lock design. The 905606-001 has a screw fix design and totally doesn't fit the HP ProDesk 400 G4 front cover.

 

Correction, the 905606-001 (NEU13431253) appears to be the correct card reader. The click and lock design on the front cover plate is confusing. On second look there is a screw fix mount in the housing frame which places the reader on the right position.
