    Type this command in a terminal:
    lspci
    and paste the output here.

    Also what you can do is open your caae and check if all the cables are still connected.

    But did you tried that command? It is good that you post the brand/model/type of your card reader, but we need to be sure that Linux sees is as well. And therefor you have to use that command.
