Realtek Card Reader Inop

[Sanboanga]

Greetings,

My Pavilion g6-1c55nr, Win7 64, this unit never goes on the net.

Had an issue with the Realtek card reader Inop. Paul T. provided a link for the driver and all was well, that was a couple months ago.

The card reader doesn't see much use but I noticed today it was not recognizing the card so I reinstalled the driver and it said the installation was not complete. Device manager tells me 'PCI device no driver found' and I get a fault code ' device couldn't start (code 10)' when I install card. Everything looks good in Device Mgr until I install the card.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Regards,

PD

Hi:

The only suggestion I can offer since the driver from Realtek quit working would be to try an HP Realtek card reader driver from a slightly newer g6 notebook that has not yet been retired.

If that doesn't work either, it is possible the card reader hardware is defective.

Hi Paul,

The way I understand it is the PCI driver is in the Realtek driver?

Hi :

That is correct  

When the Realtek SD card reader needs a driver, Windows labels it as a PCI device.

Thanks once again Paul.
