Did you put the IRD in backwards, ending with 12 or 3E?..

The readers are only a couple of quid with postage, and not too hard to change, its worth a try.

Their not so easy to remove in one piece as you have to unsolder a lot of pins, i have changed a couple by snipping pins off with a small sharp pair of side cutters then just desolder the stubs one at a time, desolder the holes so that new one just pops in and solder up, to take one out and reuse would take a bit of care as too much heat can melt the plastic, a new one is much easier.
