I read it elsewhere you can just tape over your chip and let it fail 3 times to allow it to swipe, there also dp another workaround bypass chip w.o failing your chip i do not know what it is as it kept a mystery for those hitting long and hard and not wanting to game over this.

Personally i have never attempt yet as i always go mc to load.

I do wanna know if barcode works at SCO tho , let me know if any dp on this
