MSI Wind Netbook Internal SD Card Reader Fails
Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 10:28PM A few months back I purchased a PINK MSI Wind Netbook for Lauren. She loves it. There seemed to be a strange issue that came up where the internal SD card reader stopped working. The drive completely disappeared and no matter what SD card you inserted, it would not recognize the card. A reboot didn't fix. This is what I had to do in order to get the reader to recognize the SD cards again:
Shut down the Wind.
Disconnected / Remove everything inserted into the Wind (USB, SD, etc)
Disconnect the power cable and the battery.
Hold down the power button for about 5 seconds.
Reconnect battery and power cable and startup the Wind.
Reconnect anything you disconnected in the 2nd step.
Voila, SD card should now work, because you have successfully reset the PMU and start up Preferences.
