Asus F5N laptop built-in card reader driver problem


Why Is My Media Card Reader not working in Windows 7?Windows 7 does not recognize Media Card Reader after upgrade from VistaSD Card reader not working on Sony VaioExternal card reader not working after upgrade to Windows 7Reading P2 card with standard PC Card (PCMCIA) readerHow to get my card memory reader to work?How can I determine if my Dell M4600 built-in SD card reader can support SDHC cards?Internal card reader fails after upgrade to Windows 10 - “Device could not be migrated”USB card reader - controller errorsSmart Card Reader seen, but not the smart card

I have an Asus F5N X50N-AP011C. I have manually installed Windows 7 x64 on it, replacing the original Windows Vista. It also automatically installed a card reader driver, but it can no longer read xD cards. The driver shows in the device manager as "Generic- xD/SDMMC/MS/Pro USB device" (under "drives" - and a drive is also shown in Windows Explorer). The same card reader once used to work with xD cards. I also tried to manually install drivers from this website: http://www.station-drivers.com/page/realtek.htm - the RTS 5158 but it didn't work (it shows as USB device in device manager, but not as a drive in Windows Explorer).



Does anyone know




  • what card reader my model has built-in? (I think it's the 5158 but I don't know how to verify that - there's also no hint in the System Information tool, only the driver name is listed under "drives")

  • how it is connected internally?

  • if there is a better Windows 7 x64 driver?

          In Device Manager, check the Properties for the device. Under the Details tab, you should have drop-down options for Device ID, Hardware ID and such. Plug those into Google, and you should be able to find the proper model numbers and drivers you need.

          • Thanks, but the only info in there is the generic driver info from the Windows system driver. Nothing hardware specific. Device Class GUID = {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}, Hardware ID = USBSTORDiskGeneric-xD/SDMMC/MS/Pro_1.00 and similar.
