How to spot a fake acekard?

Beware Of fake acekards!

There are a lot outhere. Here is a very simple comparison by which you can figure out the difference between fake and genuine acekard.

Make sure you buy from a trusted store which claim in confidence that they sell genuine acekards and give atleast 1 year warranty.

Ask them for this information before you buy! Its doesnt take long if their customer service is good.

All4consoles.co.uk is one of the tested and trusted UK sites where authenticity can be questioned and quality validated. They offer 30 day no quibble money back guarantee with excellent post sales technical support. Buy with complete confidence.

Fake ak2i

This is the fake ak2i. They’re using the “Actel” chip which real acekard do not use for a very long time. Acekard team do not sell this type of ak2i anymore. The clone cart has to open a window at the back of shell to fit the chip. You can even feel them by touching the sticker. So if you buy one Ak2i like this now then it must be fake.

Here is the internal images of clone cart. By the way the PCB is also different from our older type of ak2i, which used “Actel”.

Now here is the  real Acekard 2i.

Real AK2i

As you can see there’s no window in the shell of real AK2i.

Now real acekard is using new chip so that they dont have to open a window in the back of shell.

Here is a easy way to distinguish real one and clone one, using the latest official firmware or AKAIO. The clone will be blocked.

Once again, real acekard offer one year warranty for AK2 and AK2i. You can contact your reseller for a replacement for any issue of the real AK2 and AK2i. Acekard team do not guarantee any safe use of firmware on clone AK2 and AK2i, and on your DS or DSi. They won’t offer one year warranty for clone ones in any case. Please pay attention when you’re buying Acekard.
