    Thanks for this video.
    I have a similar Digipass it's about 3 yrs old now. A year ago when I powered it up I get 'batt 02'. 6 months ago I get 'batt 01' and now I am getting 'batt 00' so I assume the battery is almost done but it's still working fine. It seems from other videos once the battery is removed from PCB you lose info that is stored in volatile memory so the unit needs re programming. If I solder a new (bigger) 3V rechargeable battery in parallel do you think the unit will work indefinitely? subject to changing the rechargeable every so often. It won't look pretty but I can keep it in a drawer by my PC which is the only place I use it.

      Yes, it will work if you connect a new bat before the old one dies. Change the battery does not work.

    Dongles, invented by Don Gall, actually plugged into a computer that had expensive software in the early days such as Racal's PCB design software. These HSBC security devices are not Dongles, rather simple code generators.
    If the battery is removed, these will not start again unless re-initiated. A small group of us applied power by piercing the keyboard and sticking Pogo contacts in. We ran a sequence and managed to extract a complete number sequence.

    I have three of these devices all from different banks. Two of the devices are interchangable so I can use say HSBC on Nat West. The third only works with the issueing bank and that has a battery you can change. I thought about sending you an RSA token as they are similar but have a code that changes every 60 seconds, no buttons just a counter. The software at the other end recognises any time drift a bit like the bank authenticators do.

      I recall should something similar when setting up a new account, rather than using the new supplied dongle, I manage to use the existing one I had, I don't recall any issues to it's behaviour in either account

    Yes, go careful. We can't have you stabbing yourself in every video.

    Not even 4 minutes in and I could tell it would never work again. Pretty much as soon as the hacksaw blade made an appearance.
    The way the stanley knife was being used to take the back off made me tense.

    It's mesured 1.4v out of circuit because you've just recharged it

    Wish you had successfully revived it but thanks for the video anyways

      I think they are pretty much unrevivable unfortunately

    Is this not an Authenticator that gives you the passcode that you would enter into a application associated with HSBC.

      Yes, you enter your PIN in it and it generates an OTP

      Yep its the whole transhumanism aspect to it. We all know where they are forcing us to go, and its not for our own good. The C19 scam is a convenient distraction and effective tool to destroy and then reset everything, while they can do all the other sinister shit in the background.
