Best way to check if the funcard holder is faulty is to boot up in eng menu (unplug power lead, press page up and down together and while holding down plug the power in untill you go into eng menu) and go to the card page and insert the card.

When you insert the card you should see the status change and it should display card status and the Rev.

If your using a mosc if could be that the mosc is toast, this will only be the case is when you try to program it, it fails and returns no atr string.

If you using a different card OR/AND a mosc which you are able to program then I would says you got a faulty card reader.

You need to open the box up and see it is fitted firm.ly.. from there you would be able to tell.


if you have a multi-meter handy set it up to test a clear current flow and test that the connection from the reader and to the circuit board are till working, you should hear a beep depening on your multi-meter. Follow the circet round to the circut board and test.

To change it you would need to de solder the points and remove the card reader and place a new/working 1 and re solder and test.
