New card reader connects then disconnects with error.

I have here some troubleshooting steps to get your card reader back to work, STAYBOLD. 

I appreciate you for performing the troubleshooting steps to get this working out. Let's make sure we logged in to GoPayment or QuickBooks Online mobile app as an administrator to access the Card Reader settings. Once done, disconnect and reconnect the card reader. Then, follow the steps below depending on the color of the app.

Green:

1. Go to the Settings.
2. Click Card Readers, then disconnect.
3. From the Reader Actions drop-down, select Forget Reader.
4. Reconnect the reader.

Blue:

1. Click More, then select Hardware.
2. From the Card readers, choose the card reader you want to disconnect.
3. Hit Forgot Reader.
4. Reconnect the reader.

Thank you for the reply.

I tried everything you posted there, as i had already read that reply on other posts multiple times. I am the only one on the account and am an admin. I listed all that as well as the device I am using. This shows I have a compatible device.

I will reach out to help, as I can see the normal response here is going to be the SAME ready made response that is sent to everyone. If my post had been read thoroughly, you would have noticed I TRIED all the stuff you mentioned already.

Thank you for the effort at either rate.

Having exactly the same problems.... Has this been resolved.  Have tried EVERYTHING!

I’m also having the exact same problem. Were you able to solve yours?

I finally got this resolved by them sending me a new one. Of course it took two days worth of contacting them to actually get it resolved and the resolutions was to send me a replacement like I asked for in the beginning.
