I know you have been around a while (welcome back by the way) , and I know you what you are doing.
Fair assumption, All of mine have been fine also, xSeries in a needle can be a challenging read, but the sterilized packs I’ve ALWAYS played with/tested/ set up before installing.
You must have far better will power than me, just leaving it sitting there before installing
Thats a decent time to at least get a read.
I’ve had mine for quite a whlie now, and its not my easiest to get a read from, but it does work.
I’m assuming you have used your PM3 and phone with no luck.
What sort of phone do you have?
Are you trying through Fidesmo or a generic NFC app, TagInfo, NFC Tools etc?
What sort of tools were used for the install outside of needle or scalpel (if any)
I’ve only ever had one PCB flex fail previously, but it started as an intermittent fault.
I think the chip seperated from the Board, (It’s still inside me, so I don’t know conclusively)
I could get a read when I put pressure on the chip, but eventually it just stopped working.
I’m not suggesting you put pressure on yours, but do wonder if you have tried everything else, if the same thing happend to you.
Although, the Apex Flex is newer than my one that failed, and the solder technique has been improved.
