So I have almost everything working on my Lenovo S400 but I discovered today that my SD Card Reader doesn't work when I was setting up something on my 3ds but that's off topic.

Any way I can get this Card Reader working? It's a USB based one and here's some information from System Report just in case.

  • Recognized as "USB2.0-CRW"
  • Product ID: 0x0129
  • Vendor ID: 0x0BDA (Realtek)
I googled around for awhile and had no luck but I thought it was worth a try asking in case someone knew. Thanks.
 
you'd better give up. there is no way to solve it.

That’s for sd card readers on the pci/pcie bus not usb. SD card readers on the USB host that aren't working are likely related to the USB issues seen in later versions of macOS. But it could also be like the usb web cam. Some work and some just don't.
ahh, ok, i saw realtek in the OP and mine is realtek as well

I was afraid that would be it. Oh well, hopefully some miracle happens and some way to do it will be released. Doubt it though
