Hi, I am fairly new to the body modding world and I have a problem with my first implant, the xDF2 DESFire. I am unable to trigger any response with the included field tester(xLED-HF) nor with the proxmark3 (easy). The above mentioned items work though with other cards or my phone.
My current fear now is that the implant got damaged during the install or just didn’t work from the beginning.
How long ago was the install? Give it up to 2 weeks before you freak out, we’ve seen this often: doesn’t work after install, works 2 weeks later.
I guess it’s the swelling and the blood.
Yeah, but that could just be a coupling issue. (Im just guessing here)
If it was a FlexDF2 then that would be a little more unlikely.
Just trying to get some clarification
You can see ontop of the bottom board is where the HF antenna is, you want to ace it perpendicular to you xDF2
Like I have shown with my HiTag.
or similar placement to any of the red lines…
The field tester is a handy device to test readers that you don’t know about. You take your tester and place it on the reader and move it around until you get maximum brightness. That shows you the position and orientation you want for your implant.
Here is a diagnostic card balanced on my test keyboard wedge, (I don’t have a field detector) this tells you whether the reader is High frequency or Low frequency. In this case it is high frequency.
