SD card reader detected but SD storage not shown

I have a a multi card reader. Today accidentally I ejected my reader while formatting a SD card by Gparted. When I inserted it again, it detected is lsusb but nothing was opening ie. as a storage device.

I tried inserting SD card in laptop SD card reader and it worked fine. But with the card reader I was unable to see anything. I tried googling with several links and suggestion which says kernel compiling and all but nothing helped. I tried to open it via Gparted but it kept on searching partitions and after a long time it showed my internal hard disk only

This is lsusb result

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05e3:0751 Genesys Logic, Inc.

This is lsusb -v result for that device

Is there any remedy available to make that card reader work?

Solution 1:

Use the following steps:

1. Remove the multi-card card reader from your machine
2. Cold boot your machine. (shutdown, remove all batteries and power, turn on (which should do nothing, except get rid of the last few electrons) then connect all batteries and power cords and turn on again)
3. Insert the SD card in your internal SD Card reader, open gparted and re-create a new partition table and re-format the SD Card.
4. Unmount and eject the SD Card from your internal SD card reader
5. Insert the SD card in the (still removed!!!) Multi-card reader.
6. Connect the multi-card reader again.

Done!
