Card Reader

Hi Manu Shandilya,

Please follow the steps below to run the test on Card reader on the system.

1.       Open the link http://dell.to/14YjKb2

2.       Select ‘Hardware’ under ‘Let's diagnose your issue’.

3.       Select ‘Card reader’.

4.       Click on ‘Run Diagnostics’ button.

5.       Let me know if the results.

Also, please check if you find the card reader under ‘Universal Serial Bus Controllers’ in device manager.

You should be able to get the driver on if you open the files it extracted to your HDD, Find out where it created the file (ex.) C:\Dell\Drivers\XXXXX (XXXXX being the file) find the installer file .exe and run it.

No Dear,

There is NO Card Reader Driver in HDD.

Tell me something else. How to extract Driver file if it is not install ?

Hi Manu Shandilya,

 

Dear Mr. Ravi

 

As I mention in my earlier post,

Diagnostics results of the Card Reader show "NO MEDIA" ?

and I did PC CHECKUP also, In PC Checkup all results are OK ??

What is the problem, I can't understand ? Did you ??? OR somebody else ?

Where can I send you screen shot ?

Hi Manu Shandilya,

I would suggest you to insert a memory card with data in it and run the diagnostics on the memory card.

Dear Mr. Ravi

 

I did that already, but failed, I do not want to waste too much of

your time, so please tell me all the remedies together, (i.e. first

do this, if failed do this and so on )

I will do everything one by one, I hope you understand.

10. You will be prompted to select the backup to be used, click the factory image option or select from one of the backups. Click Next.

11. You will be prompted to back up your files, if needed do so by selecting the option ‘Yes, backup my personal files’ (Make sure to have an external backup hard drive handy.) or select No, Erase my files.
