More and more stores are selling fake acekard 2i. Many customers are fooled if they are careless. It is very annoying. But, it happens every day, every minute and every second. Why? Because few people know how to distinguish real acekard 2i. Here I will sum up 5 steps for people who do not know how to tell a real acekard 2i from the clone ones. If you are preparing to buy an acekard 2i. Please pay close attention to the following words.

Step 1:
Please notice the banner of the chip which AK2i used. It is called “Actel”.

Step 2:
There is no window in the shell anymore.

Step 3:
>AceKard2 and AceKard 2i both use the chip of “SST” and it’s 48 pins. And all AceKard 2i use this “SST” 48 pins chip.

Step 4:
Test the flash cart with your AKAIO loaded micro sd to see if it is a real one or a clone before leaving the store.

Step 5:
Just launch the repack of akaio 1.4.1, if it says “unsupported device”, then you must have got a clone one.

To sum up, there are 4 points you should pay close attention to when you are buying a Acekard 2i.
1. The chip on the back of the PCB is “Actel” or small black glue circle. This is very vital.
2. The chip on another side of PCB is a 48 pins chip of “SST”. Some batches of AK2 used other banners of 48 pins chips. But they’re all 48 pins.
3. Please refer to the 2 items above as the main symbol of real AK2 and AK2i because the package of retail had changed many times.
4.Please take pictures of the “legit” Acekard 2i sticker as well and any included boxes or packaging.
