My laptop refuses to recognize any of my usb card readers.

I know that I'm capturing video on my VIOFO approved Sandisk micro sd card. If I put the micro sd card into my Sandisk card adapter and put it directly into my old laptop, which has a reader slot, I can see my downloaded videos.

If I put the card adapter into either of two different usb card readers, and plug that into my regular laptop, I get nothing. The laptop does not register that anything has been plugged into the usb port. Nada, zilch.

I've updated the USB driver. No help.

The micro-sd card adapter is in the unlocked position.

I've formatted the sd card in the dash cam prior to use.

I've confirmed that the usb port on my laptop work when I plug in other devices.

Is there some trick I'm missing to getting a micro sd card- plugged into an unlocked adapter- inserted into a Sandisk or Ritz gear brand usb reader to be recognized ? Or do i just happen to 2 bad usb readers? Or is it something to do with my regular laptop not recognizing the file format while my old computer does?

Long story short - how to I get my laptop to 'see' the videos on my sd card?

Thanks in advance for your help.
