just like the title says, unfortunately, i cant get a scan on my apex using my phone but my xnt still scans no problem. ive never been rough with it and used it pretty scarcely. it found its way somewhere between p3 and p4. used primarily for otp and stupidly no backup. i have a proxmark but have forgotten how to use it. is it possible to salvage anything from it or am i cooked?
It’s possible that the connection between the chip and the antenna has broken, you may be able to temporarily get reads on it by gently pressing on the chip to try to get it to make a connection again Whoopsies, don’t do that
Also, it may be possible for Amal to swap the chip onto a new antenna, effectively reviving it (assuming the chip is still functional):
If you need/want any help with that, I’d be happy to help you figure it out again
We can attempt a repair on it by putting the chip on a new antenna. Reply to the order confirmation email and start a ticket. We’ll do our best to salvage.
By the way do not press on the chip. Flex chips of the modern era do not have these types of connection problems, and by pressing it’s possible to damage the potting making salvage impossible.
Thanks for the help as always. There was actually no order, I won it in a forum contest. It’s also going to be a couple weeks until I can get it taken out. extremely unlucky timing a couple days before traveling for a wedding.
