I replaced a working SanDisk Compact Flash Reader (in use for several years) with an Ecotrends 50-in-1 reader from Office Max. It, didn't work, i.e. was not recognized by Windows XP Pro SP3. I took it back to thr stor and got a replacement. Windows now recognizes its existance but when I insert a card it says it cannot get the images from the card. I am using a powered hub for several devices. I have tried with the powe cord unplugged but this makes no difference. The SanDisk reader still works. Any suggestions?

The Hx 4700 series and the & The Hx2190 have a removable card Compact Flash or SD Card, if the information you want was stored on these you can buy a USB Card reader from woolies plug the SD or Compact flash into the card reader and plug it into the USB port of your PC or mac and it will be readable (no drivers needed). You may also be interested to know that there are updated ROMS available for this model to update the OS & the Office Apps + increase the max capacity of the storage cards that are recognized.
Same problem I had. After resetting unit and checking CF on another unit, Raymarine tech. said, the reader is not working. All pins seems to be OK on first look. I opened unit by removing several screws in front, gasket and the whole chassis from the case. Simple repositioning of pushed down pins from inside into the Compact Flash corrected contact problem of reader. Since then, I never removed CF. It seemed, after several reinsertions of CF, I pushed down two pins in CF slot.
If you know that your CF card is working (e.g. as in your camera) then the most likely cause is your computer Flash/CF reader either inbuilt or external): older readers (and cameras/phones) will not support High Capacity (xxHC) card and will be limited to a maximum of 2GB.
Hope it helps.
Make sure the reader is not USB 1.0 because the 4GB CF card is a UDMA type card that the USB 1.0 cannot recognize. Upgrade to a USB 2.0 reader and you should have no problem.
It usually means that your Input/Output device (e.g. Card Reader either internal or External) is not compatible with your Flash card which is a 'newer' high speed and high capacity medium (OR your Flash card is a new one and has not been formatted). You can check that your card reader is working by inserting a 'standard' (not ULTRA) working lower capacity card (1GB or smaller).
Hope it helps: let me know hoe you go.
You will need to get a new card reader for you computer. If it is not able to read the UDMA type cards it will fail to recognize them. The came is UDMA compatible and does not have the problem.
When you format the card, be sure to do it in the camera, as the camera firmware writes hidden files to the card.
When you insert the card into the card reader, be sure to set write-protect, so the contents cannot be corrupted.
I suspect what may have happened is that at some point there has been a conflict between files written to the card by the camera and the computer.
