Hi ChelleC,
Did you make any software or hardware changes? May I know the operating system installed on your computer.
You may try updating the card reader driver. Click on the link http://dell.to/14NMsYM -> type the Service tag of the computer -> choose the operating system -> expand Chipset -> download and install the file named Ricoh Card Reader xxxx.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I am not aware of any changes being made. I have gone into the drivers section and put in my service tag number however there there is no chipset to expand :-/

Hi ChelleC,
You may uninstall the USB root hubs and check if it makes any difference. To uninstall USB Root Hubs:
Then, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and uninstall all the options starting with the name Ricoh -> restart the computer.
Once done, update the Chipset driver. Then download and install the card reader driver again from the same link shared in my previous post.
Hope this helps.

I had the same problem, then upgraded my Win 10 Pro to Version 1709 OS Build 16299.19. this brought the SD card reader back to life.
