Hi. Well I have a LG desktop system and it was been installed with windows Xp as the operating system. Also it had inbuilt sd card reader in the system. The problem is that after I upgraded the system with windows 7 the SD card reader option on the device manager is not visible. Why is this happening? Please help to get the issue sorted. Thank you.
The problem that the system is unable to show up the SD card reader option in he device manager after upgardation of the operating system is due to the outdated updates for the device been installed in the system. You need to install the latest drivers for the SD card reader from the official site of LG. This shall help you in making the reader to show up in the device manager as well.
System incompatibility with the software which in due results malfunctioning of the devices that is been associated with the system. This basically tends an issue that is the operating system windows 7 needs a good updated tools in order to cope up with the operating system. You need to check the compatibility with the operating system for the device. This should help you out to sort the issue.
For a better solution would recommend you to work with windows xp or ubuntu. As you were able to work with the device under windows xp operating system. Also there may be the issue with the operating system due to which it is not able to cope when been upgraded. So do use the downgraded version for the accessibility and to make the device or show up in the device manager.
There is a possibility that it may not show up in the device manager but may show up the drive when been plugged with any card into it. it happens as I have experienced the same. When I plugged in a memory it started showing the drive and was able to get detected. So try doing that it may help you to sort the issue as well hopefully.
Contact the manufacturer for the issue if this is happening. It may be that they would not provide service as you have upgraded the pre installed version of windows pack. But if that does not help then you could just re install the drivers associated to the system. Run the system under safe mode might be this will help your sd card reader to function and show up in the device manger as well. You may get to the conclusion thereafter.
