Hello everyone,
I'm here because I have a problem, my PC doesn't read my SD card.
When I insert my card, absolutely nothing happens. And when I look in the file explorer, there's no sign of the SD card.
I checked for any issues in the device manager, but I only found an issue with "AMD Radeon HD 7600M Series". However, I don't see how that's related.

My SD card works fine, I've tested it on several computers.
I'm convinced the problem is with my PC because I have several SD cards, I've tried them all and none work.

Thanks in advance,

    Hello OnTheGround, and welcome to the Forum :)

    You have indeed gone over the results of the tests you did. For this reason and since suspect number 1 remains the machine, I suggest you revisit the basic elements: the connectivity.

    Does your computer have an SD slot or are you going through an SD card reader?

    Initially, if you are using an SD card reader/adapter, you have likely tested other memory cards through this reader ... and none work on this computer. I would suggest testing another USB port or another reader.

    I agree with @Papounet17000's suggestion, but it seems to me that if the issue is with the format of the SD card, it would also remain undetected by other PCs.

    However, you could take a look at the Device Manager to update the software drivers. Do you see a yellow exclamation mark under Universal Serial Bus controllers? Right-click > "Update driver software".

    Keep us posted on how it goes, please :)
    See you later!

      Hello and thank you :)
      My computer is equipped with an SD slot (only one)
      No, it's a large SD card and I have 2 adapters; by the way, I'm sure at least 1 works because I bought it recently.
      I checked in the Device Manager, but nothing at all, no exclamation marks and everything seems to be working.

      Thank you very much,
