Hi

Erase your card a few times and write details to card and see if it works, if stil same then either your card f**ked so try another card if you have one or most likely thing is your card reader is f**ked.

"Mute" error basically means that the box cannot hear any replies from the card. This can be caused by a number of reasons, most often -

1/ Card incorrectly inserted (upside down etc)
2/ Card incorrectly programmed
3/ Card dead (If you can program a Mosc card, it ain't dead)
4 Dirty contacts - card or reader.
5/ Card reader problem - most common is a bent or broken contact pin
6/ Box circuitry failure - usually card interface chip
