    Hey Everyone! :cool:

    I have a Sager NP 5791 and in the last few weeks, the card reader has stopped working all the time. I mean, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be any pattern for when it works, or doesn't

    When it's acting up it lets me see the thumbnails for the pictures, but when I click them they just say "no image available" or something like that. I can remove and reinsert the SD card a bunch of times and eventually it works, but it's getting REALLY annoying. :mad:

    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do?

    Have you tried updating the driver? The card reader is the same as the one in the 5793, so install that one from www.sagernotebooks.com

    ^^What he said.

    I couldn't get the card reader to work at all on my 5790 for months; when the 5792/3 came out, I downloaded the driver for those and now it works perfectly. So I would give it a whirl.
