Hopefully the more active this thread gets from disgruntled customers, the higher the chance of looking into group action litigation against Paypals claims of device tamper. My guess is the old devices are insecure for newer payment standards and have gradually been issued a kill switch via the update of firmware, therefore forcing you to buy their newer product. Makes zero sense why anyone of PayPal "customers" would want to hack, tamper with their products. Pretty **bleep** insulting. Still zero comment or feedback from any paypal reps for months in this thread...disgusting and ignorant. ... View more

I just came across this whilst searching for other solutions to try find a fix to reflash the firmware via pc somehow, but sadly this may give you the reality of ours and the many others customers common situation of FLASHING RED and GREEN failed MIURA  card readers error and exactly how little paypal care.   http://nameandshamenow.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/trouble-with-paypal-here-v1-bluetooth.html   Who know's, they may just prove us wrong and offer a compromise....         ...

The next steps sadly are going to be from paypal's mouths, buy a new one!   Mine failed yesterday also, this is the main thread with exactly your issue and zero solution from paypal.    /t5/PayPal-Here-App/Software-update-for-the-paypal-here-card-reader/td-p/876899/page/2?profile.language=en-gb   With the thread haveing close to 6000 views, it's very clear Paypal do not care for customer aftersales otherwise they'd be offering a big discount for a replacement for out of warranty devices that are obviously faulty in the first place.   Good luck, hopefully you're is in the 1 year warranty or like me, choose another vendor who may possibly care about customer retention and quality aftercare.     ...

Thank you for the info on iZettle Card readers Dom, great deal on hotukdeals.   Again I am now yet another one of the dozens of people added to these forum list of complaints for these expensive unreliable and most likely,  planned obsolescence Paypal / Miura Payments Card Readers with the dreaded RED & GREEN flashing lights of Death that all seem to be failing very recently!   I am completely suprised how a multimillion corp like paypal treats their customers with next to no after sales/warranty care or support except, did you reboot it?  Hmm, did you factory reboot it when they know full well these devices are clearly faulty as made obvious and revealing with a phone call I had to a paypal rep who hinted he knew the issue straight away.      There solution, buy another one! its really OLD, after just two years and just a handful of uses.   Oh, as the customer is clearly sounding frustrated, here's a coupon for 10% off for another new  £70+ new reader that will probably fail again outside of warranty.  Wow, I'm so chuffed...   Although the warranty has expired on many of these peoples devices, this is clearly a known hardware FAULT which is irelevant to warranty as they're clearly not fit for purpose, apart from the obvious failing circumstances in the many of these threads of the exact same issues.     This clearly warrants an investigation and possibly a class action lawsuit.  It's truely tiring how many big corp companies get away with issues like this that occur every day.   Just noticed this thread has had not far from 6000 Views!  Do you think you're hiding a issue Paypal?   Anyway, time to move on like changing cars, internet, mobile providers....etc etc.     ...
