Is it getting detected anywhere else? If yes, then try to uninstall current default driver from microsoft and install the latest one from your manufacturer. If it isn't getting detected anywhere else also, then it is dead.

You have a new laptop right? Does it have a sd card slot?

old laptop...has a sd card slot
Use it to transfer the data from the sd card. As for the card reader, there is a strong possibility that it may have gone bad.

Check device manager if it shows up there. Expand all and post screenshot if there is a yellow exclamation mark on any of them.

In which other pc have you found this 16gb card working? It may be that sd card reader of laptop itself has gone bad. Only way to confirm though is by checking with some older windows version or live linux version having card reader driver for your laptop.
