PIN2DND Device activation failed.

[vietscong]

Good afternoon

 

I am trying to activate my pin2dmd . i have a nucleo F429ZI updated to the latest firmware , 4.53 , i have a key ( receveid this Sunday) that match the one on the dmd .

I have tried to uses the sd card mode with sc card and only thing that i have on the dmd was pin2dmd virtual pinball ..nothing else .. 

so i tried to activate the pin2dmd using the pin2dmd.exe ..tried the 32 and 64 bits version ...and on the 64 versions i got the "pin2dmd device activation failed" ..

i am out of ideas ...

someone has another way to do it ?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Best regards

If you don´t get the "NOT ACTIVATED" message after 3 minutes, it is already activated. You can also check in the onscreen menu

Thanks for the answer, but i can´t acess menu/options on pin2dmd, i tried acessing with the exe but i always receveid the "device not activated" , whatever i do or try i always have the pin2dmd virtual pinball splash and nothing else.

 

is there any place where i can access older firmwares so i try those instead of the 4.56 ?

 

Thanks in advance

Do you get "NOT ACTIVATED" message after 3 minutes ?

 

The device not activated message in the tool could also indicate a USB problem.

i have uploaded firmware 4.52 and i have again the not activated / splash screen .

 

Tried to activate via sd card and the tools and nothing .

 

As the key was new , is there a possibility that something was wrong with it ?

 

thanks in advance

Does a save config in the onscreen menu create a pin2dmd.dat file on the SD ? If not you SD is not compatible or something is wrong with your reader
