Did the driver show up in Device Manager? Sometime even if the driver are installed the device won't show up in Device Manager or get some kind of errors.

Try to uninstall the current driver and install the one available at Windows Update, if still won't work I am afraid that it was hardware issue.

Did going back to 8.1 make the SD reader work?

Sounds like a hardware issue then. The connector could have come loose, but I doubt it. You've not dropped or knocked the laptop recently? Or spilled anything on it?

Nope i haven't dropped it, also the laptop has only been sitting on my table for 3 months i think because the battery wasn't charging so i had to get a replacement.

Well then, if it's only been 3 months (I'm assuming you bought it 3 months ago) is it still under warranty? might be worth going down that route.
