Troubleshooting
If memory cards do not appear in My Computer or Windows Explorer,
check the following:
• Make sure that the card reader is fully connected into your
computer. Unplug and reconnect your card reader.
• Try a different memory card of the same type in the same
slot. If a different memory card works, the original memory
card should be replaced.
• Disconnect the cable from your card reader and shine a
flashlight into the empty card slots. Look to see if any pins
inside are bent, and straighten bent pins with the tip of a
mechanical pencil. Replace your memory card reader if a
pin has bent so much that it touches another pin.
