Damn it, my gold won't resync, this sucks ass

you need to login more often :smiley:

on my 2. set :smiley: (9-10years)

Do MA still replace GCs for free when they break (if they are over a certain age)?

My gold card reader hasnt worked properly for years, I have to reinsert the damn card 10’s of time before i get a code. And that’s after taking it apart and cleaning it. Probably why i have gone through so many batteries.

Just so much shite in it…

I need a new one really.

Actually I had the Error 72 issue alot, I opened the GC ofc :slight_smile: and there was a formation of 4-5 pins grouped and a single one, pulled up a bit the single one and it worked like a charm since.

Best of luck!

My good ol’ Gold card & reader works flawlessly, it had a short period of time where it made an error. Somehow sorted itself… Otherwise its like 10 years old by now and batteries still fine…

Dont know about replacements, but i think its still due. besides, i bought this one from Trade terminal ingame. its not the free one for accoutns with 5000 ped or more

:))

Glad to be able to help, now go spend some :smiley:

Mine also hasn’t worked properly for years either, because the card has friction grooves in it (that’s why cards get replaced every few years - they have a finite physical life)

Anyway, my card is left permanently 95% inserted and just pushed that last 5% when needed and it should outlive me by using it that way. Also has the added bonus of stopping fluff / dust getting in.

If your GC is 8+ years old and getting flaky, try it - works for me. :slight_smile:

Good idea, but for me I think that may have the opposite effect.

As it spends most of its time in a rucksack pouch, it will probably be pushed that last 5% in when i don’t know. Next day, battery dead lol.

But thanks anyway!

I half expected you to post a funny music video on things breaking lol
