my gold card quit working

[wizzszz]

ok i am able press second button and get code..
i cant hold that long soo is that card reader infected?

Infected? Your card reader cannot be infected.

But if it's working like that, it's not the batteries.


If you have to press the button it is very likely that it's not the button itself but the pressure on the card reader that helps.


Open the reader, clean the contacts (gently!) - make sure they are not bet or twisted - if they appear to not stick out enough you can try to bend them a bit (again, very gently!)


You should examine the edges of your gold card, too - if they appear to be somehow damaged or worn off you can fix them with a bit of scotch tape.

Agreed with Wizz.
When you open the back of the reader you will see a micro button at the base where the card once insterted depresses that button. This often where the problem occurs.
This button gets a little deformed with repeat use and as such does not trigger power to the unit allowing a code to be generated.
What I did was to slightly bend it back towrd where the card depresses it using a small peice of metal the diameter of a toothpick.
You need to be careful in performing ths procedure, it's easier to get a new one.
Also
Be gentle using tha reader when you insert the card, It makes for longevity
