Hey folks, new here, not overly knowledgeable about this stuff, but here goes. I have a BEV 3100, I have a rom11 card and a magic card. I use Magic Card 2.2 (I think)to program the card. I have a subscription to Bell so I program as married sub. I have been having trouble with my stuff, my normal subscription works fine but when I try to use my magic card I get "Card not inserted correctly". I have been doing some reading and found 2 things mentioned about this. 1. My contact points may have gotten bad as my slot in the receiver is small and the 2 cards need some force to get in there. 2. Another thingk I read is that I could slow down the programming speed when programming. Any help here is appreciated.

Also, to further complicate, I have lost my password that came with the Magic Card. Am I SOL? I tried using my bro's password he got with his, not sure if that helped any but figured I'd give it a go. It still reads Smart Card not inserted correctly.

Is this a contact issue, or a password issue and has anyone been down this road before.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Leadzedder it sounds like the contact points are not making contact, try bending them down just a niche
