Usb Sd-Card Reader Not Detected

[jman0war 0]

I have a Surface 2 and bought a USB SD Card Reader to take pictures off a couple cameras while traveling.

Initially it worked fine.

 

But now the Surface 2 won't detect the SD card whatsoever.

Nothing listed in Disk Manager.

 

I know the USB port works, I can plug various USB thumbnail drives/removable storage and they work just fine.

 

So I've now tried 2 different USB SD Card Readers and the Surface 2 just won't pick them up at all.

 

I know the same USB SD Card Readers work ok on my desktop pc.

 

What can I do?

Check the compatibility center. Here is a search on USB card readers. There are a few listed as not compatible.
