Acer aspire 6920G card reader not detected, does not appear in Device Manager. Running Vista Home Premium and Firefox

In device manager appears to work properly, but if the laser eye is damage, this problem not detected by the system, replace the CD drive.

Did you ever solved your problem? I noticed the above response is just a spam ad.

I have same problem with Aspire 3680. I recently replaced the HDD and reinstalled Vista Home, all drivers from Acer has been loaded. I even updated the BIOS, updated Vista service packs and all patches.

Sent email to Acer, but of course they want $60 per 1/2 hour. And from the past experience it will take about 2 hours on the phone. Also they have no support forum, and support sucks.

So I'm still stumped. This SD problem with Acer is the only one I couldn't resolve of all brands I've worked on.

go to acer.com and download the driver.

install the proper dirver by opendriver.com and enjoy. [email protected]

notebook acer Aspire 6920G <<< real name.! 2009 made, long in tooth that
NO OS told at all, it is a windows 7 only PC, so is it still w7
or did others stuff w10 on it and now fails SURE IT WILL.
and the OS and the driver and PC must match
a 3 way match or it will fail. 6902g + w7 match.
and only from ACer.com, no place else..
ok? w7 only ok? and only for this PC !
the cam must show up in device manager ! no errors. or it will be dead
and guess what 1 more hint, the cam runs off usb (inside)
so if the USB ports are dead so be the cam for the same reason
wrong drivers. and again only w7 acer driver work from acer.com
not told at al what OS came with PC new (it was w7) but ive no idea at all history of any PC, and changes to the OS
acer.com shows weak support on 2009 PC, sorry that is what i see there,
or try this.
internet connected, w7 running
click on device manager and look for errors
and update all Usb and CAM seen there.
this is the w7 microsoft PnP way, that can work. and is safe
no other ways are safe, ever. (googling will get you infected fast)

hi,
Please check that with fn combination if the wi-fi is disabled.

i had this problem so i put my SD card in the reader and restarted my laptop as soon as it logged on it said installing new device now the card reader works everytime

try a disk cleaner it might be dirty inside and they are very sensative

Go to Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and make sure the "Shell hardware detection" is enabled and set to automatic.

Here's a FIX from Microsoft although you did not mention any errors.

Worth a try though if the first suggestion doesn't work.
