    So, a month or so ago i got myself a Y50, after throwing in an SSD with Win7 and replacing the screen, I'm very pleased with the laptop.

    However, I noticed that i can't get the Card Reader to recognize any cards. I tried downloading this driver:

    Camera Driver for Lenovo Y50-70, Y50-70 Touch
    Version: 6.2.9200.10269/2.30.50.22

    It says Camera, but the site says it's a 'Camera and Card Reader' driver. But no go. Is there a specific driver for this hardware that i need, or is my card reader faulty? I really hope not, because i don't want to set this machine back to stock to send it in for RMA.

    Thanks to anybody who can offer any help.

    Well, the same thing is happening to me. I tried this driver, but the reader is still not working. :/
