My ACER Aspire M5100 9-in-1 card reader is not working. Green light does not come on.

The 9-in-1 card reader is no longer working.  The green light doesn't turn on when I insert an SD card.  I have tried rebooting.  Cannot find the card driver in device manager.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thanks for all of your help.  I solved the problem by turning off the computer, opening up the computer case and disconnecting the 9-in-1 card black cable from the motherboard.  Then I restarted the computer and it re-installed the device drivers (Windows message came up).  For the first time, the Card Reader Devices actually appeared in Device Manager.  Then I turned off the computer, reconnected the black cable and restarted.  Everything is now working great.

    I can't find the driver anywhere.  As far as I know, it is not mentioned on the Acer site.

    Thanks for the help; however, the link that you posted is giving an error.  Also, based on the URL is it for Vista 64 bit - if so, my operating system is a 32 bit.

    Thanks for the help.  I tried the Softpedia link and my virus protection gave a lot of warnings and blocked a few trojans and other files.  The site tries to download many other programs along with the driver.  I am hesitant to continue with the Softpedia site. 

     

    Also, I think I found the name of the 9-in-1 card reader, it is CR.10400.001 - but I still can't find a driver.  I also don't see where the card reader is listed in Device Manager.

    I have not been able to find or install the driver for the 9-in-1 card reader.  I have tried several SD cards, none of them work.  The 9-in-1 does not seem to respond to anything.
