My cousin had something similar with a credit card machine at his store. He called to get a new one and they tried going over "troubleshooting" stuff with him. He's holding the machine in 5 pieces (it's literally broken) and the guy is trying to get him to reset the machine and enter a few codes. After 10 minutes of telling him it’s destroyed, my cousin told him to fuck off and hung up. Then a few days later my uncle called to get a machine and they have it documented that my cousin called and he was "non cooperative" when trying to solve the issue.

safe mode is the way to go :jerkit:
