Intermittent Card Reader Problem
jim evans wrote:
About one time in 5 when I insert a camera card into my card reader the computer does not recognize/see it. When this happens I have to disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it (sometimes twice). The connector has not been touched or moved in any way before this happens. This condition has persisted through two computers, two operating systems, two card readers and two card types. Anybody know what causes this and how can I correct it? jim When you remove a card from the reader, what procedure do you use? I've found that when I installed my first reader I was using the "safely remove hardware" procedure and every time I did there were problems the next time I wanted to read a card unless I had rebooted in between. Now I use the "eject" procedure, as if it were a floppy or CD, and there has never been a problem. I, too, went through two different readers and a handful of cards before recognizing the pattern and changing my ways. There has never been a problem since. -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |
