3. **Clean the Chip Reader**
   * Take a card (preferably a debit/credit card with raised numbers). 
   * Insert the card upside down and back to front, so the chip is not in the reader. 
   * Remove and insert the card 10 times, wiggling it each time to dislodge dirt inside the reader.<br>
4. **Power On the Terminal** \
   Hold down the green button until the device turns back on.
5. **Perform a Test Transaction** \
   Try a test transaction to confirm the chip reader is working.
6. **If Still Not Working** \
