Old Fastrak Transponder Circuit Bd (Richmond)

DO NOT PUT THE OLD ONE in the US MAIL. FASTRAK DOES NOT WANT THEM BACK. They are useless as a FASTRAK transponder. They will no longer work in about a month or so. That is why the new ones are being sent out. Read the letter that comes with the new one!

These should be recycled. Many of us will be getting the new transponders because the old ones will stop working in about a month. I used a putty knife to split the case open into the two halves. One half can be immediately put into the recycling bin for plastics. The other contains the circuit board. All of the components on the boards still work. They are being replaced because Fastrak is changing the interrogator which reads the Fastrak transponder and the new interrogator will not work with the old transponders. The new one is also about the size of the current circuit board and is much smaller in the car. If someone has a use for the circuit board or the components on it, mine is available, but there are probably thousands more out there. I posted to Fastrak on X suggesting that they recycle the boards, but they never replied.
