    The SD card reader on my new L530 is not working.

    Please let me know what diagnostics I can provide to help fix this.

      You mean the memory card reader? (As opposed to, say, the smart-card reader or something else?)

      L530 doesn't seem to have an option for a smart card reader.

      Yes, it's the 4-in-1 SD card reader (SD/SDHC/SDXC/ MMC slot) that's not working.

    translated: go to link, download, unzip the zip, unzip the tar, go to the rts5229 folder, make, sudo checkinstall, depmod, sudo modprobe rts522

    @ChristianZudeick Your comment have more information than your answer (also upvotes). So I recommend to edit your answer and add the information from the link there.

    Whilst this may theoretically respond the problem, it would be preferable to put all the content here. Thanks!

    The link seems to be broken. Which is exactly why link-only answers are a bad idea in the first place...
