Seems like a good possibility.
Lina, how old is the computer with the built-in slot?
Also, if you run lspci -v or lsusb on the command line,
can you find the SD controller? Knowing what it is,
we could probably figure out if it supports SDHC.
Alternatively it could be that it has simply failed. Do
you have other cards you could test in it? Especially
smaller cards or ones that you know have worked in
the past.
