The DSi version wont hurt to try if the other DSL update won't work. Or, if you're still worried, try to get your hands on a DSi and run the DSi/XL/3DS version update. Why don't you peel the top of the anti-fake sticker, revealing the security number. Input the security number at acekard.com to see if it has ever been checked before. If the number doesn't show "1", you have a fake card.
I purchased them form the DiscoAzul website (I'm in Italy so was the nearest). It's even listed on the official reseller of the AK. Anyone know where I can purchase a real one near me? A trusted site this time
EDIT:
So this fake AK 2i cannot be updated? Are completely useless? Or can be updated in some other ways?
I bought one of my Acekard 2i cards at Lightake and the security code was only checked by me. Lightake sells both real and fakes but they price the fakes cheaper. I'm guessing you added the cheaper Acekard 2i to your cart before you checked out.The Acekard anti-clone is not great to be fair.
My cart checks out as fake, but I got it from Lightake which is an offical dealer. Not to mention the fact that it can run the latest firmware and AKAIO version (bought it when 1.8.7 was out)
Read this thread for the bad news. You have a clone.I'm having a similar problem to the OP, I ran the DSL version and pressing B didn't work. I ran the DSI version and it says update canceled as soon as I run it. HW: 81. I have no idea if this is a fake or not since I bought it years ago but I had no issue updating it to the Alex Rider firmware and I can run 1.8.9 AKIO. Any idea what the problem is?
EDIT: Never mind, I got it to update. My new icon is Prince Caspian, is that the newest firmware?

Pretty much......That sucks, I got it from an Official dealer too. I take it the only issue I'll have is that firmware won't update, otherwise it'll work fine?
Pretty much......
Real Hot Stuff is a reputable dealer. Got mine from there.
