Card reader problem

Hi All!
I have a Dell Insperon 580. Any one have a proplem with a built-in card reader? Mine just won't recognize the card anymore. Light turns green but windows doesn't do anything and I don't see the drive in explorer. Weirder yet I pull the card out and the green light stays on for about 30 to 60 seconds and goes out. Tried different SC/HC and SC cards, same thing.
So for I've reinstalled the Ibex peak H57 chipset driver, no help. Now I see theres a AMT heci I can reinstall. I'll try that next but not a home right now.
Thanks Just wondering.

I've seen plenty of card readers just die.

Sometimes card readers just go bad. I ended up buying this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820223088

It costs $7.00 and I haven't had any problems.

Yep I think your right.. Did the other mobo divers no change. Thought it might be software. Oh well, easy cheap fix anyway. Thanks Err for the link!
Gonna grab one maybe two! I do have a usb card reader but it can't do SDHC, LOL! Yea its pretty old!
Thanks!!
