SD card readers broken
I maintain a lab of 19 iMac 27" computers (18,3 2017 models) running macOS 12.5 (having been updated over the years). The SD card readers on over half of them have stopped working. I have not found any solutions yet, and it seems wrong that these simple devices should malfunction this way.
Web search reveals this to be a fairly common problem.
Does Apple have any recommendations?
