Hacking AK Team declare AK2.1 more stable

[DMPugh]

I took a pic of my card just now, and provided a pic from another site. I was under the impression that mine was green, but after looking at this other one, perhaps I am wrong. Do I actually have the black pcb?

Wow, I have no comment.

Is that sarcasm?

Mine (the one on the top) is actually a very dark shade of green. I'm not sure how obvious it is by the picture, but it's technically not black. So I'm just not sure if green is like what is in the ncardcanada pic, or if it's like mine? For all I know the ncardcanada pic could be an old picture and not representative of what the newer 2.1s look like.

See the black paint above the contacts? It's why the AK 2.1 is called "black pcb".
If you open the shell you will see that the PCB above the contacts is painted black =)

Ahh, okay. I wasn't really sure what was supposed to be black, and to be honest I didn't even look at that part.

Thanks for clarifying! Glad I got one of the newer ones. :-D
