Surface Pro RT - USB card reader

[jman0war]

I recently bought a USB sd card reader so that I could copy photos off 2 different SD cards onto the tablet when traveling.
Initially it was working fine.

Now however, the tablet won't detect the USB device at all.
Nothing listed in Disk Manager after I plug in the USB card reader.
Same thing when I have the Tablet connected to power.

I can plug in a USB thumb drive/removable storage device just fine.
Tablet detects it no problem.
So that proves the USB port is working.

So i tried the USB card reader on my desktop pc and it worked fine.
Which proves the problem is not the reader, but the Tablet.

what can I do?
This very USB device was working fine when i first tried it.
