Card reader acting strangely

I recently installed a card reader into my PC. It is acting very oddly and I was hoping for a bit of help here.

The reader has slots for CF1&2, SD, TF (MicroSD), xD, MS/MS Due and M2.

I have successfully used the CF and SD slots without any problem. The odd part is when I try to use the TF slot to read a MicroSD card. When the card is inserted, nothing happens... *BUT* if I put an empty MicroSD card adapter into the SD slot, the TF slot then suddenly shows the memory card.

The reader is connected to one of the mainboard USB headers. I don't think it's a USB issue, since the other slots seem to work fine.

Does this seem like something I can fix? Is there a "detect" pin on a MicroSD card that could be bent in the reader?

Any help is appreciated!

PS. PC is running Windows 7 Pro, 64bit with an AMD 6350 CPU on an Asus M5A88-M mainboard.
