Macbook Pro M1 card reader not working at all

Hi!

Since i got my Macbook Pro (16-inch, 2021) M1 Max, about a year ago, the card reader hasn't been working at all. It doesn't recognize/mount/read any card. Whenever i connect a simple external card reader they all work fine, so it's definitely a problem with the card reader and not with the cards. Also disk utility doesn't see them.

I would like to be able to use the internal reader though. Does anybody know a solution?

I'm using Monterey 12.6, would a new OS help?

Thanks & cheers, mark

Hi,

It might be possible it's a macOS bug, so it could works if you upgrade your macOS on your MacBook Pro.

But be sure you must take backup before upgrade to Venture.

Thanks, when i gather the courage i'll update my OS. Always afraid to attract new bugs by installing a new OS...
