sd card no longer recognized?

[kiisu]

hey all

My built-in card reader seems to have stopped working. I had my sd card in there this morning and it was functioning as usual, took it out and used it to take some pictures, and now I get no response when I insert it.

I didn't do anything new to either the card or my computer, no re-formatting or anyting like that. Can anyone suggest what I need to do for it to work again? thanks!

Re: sd card no longer recognized?

If the SD card reader is (internally) a USB interface, like my Eee PC, then (with a card inserted) you should be able to open a console window and

lsusb

to see if it is present on the USB bus. If it is an ATA device, then it would be

lspci

to see it. If is on the bus, then the problem may just be the "notifier" not working right. In other words, you should still be able to open Dolphin or Konqueror and browse to it and use it.

Otherwise, apparently the camera had some fun with it!
