1965 Posted October 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I asked this on the medallion thread but want to ask here as well. We just received our medallions at home. I opened the pkg on our porch & dropped them on the concrete! I had not removed them from the 3x5 card to which they're attached. Any idea if I may have done internal damage. There is no visible damage. My excitement has become worry. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just means you might have to stand in line like the old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted October 7, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Surely the medallions can take some punishment? Surely? I have dropped my iPhone a zillion times, with no ill effects. I think:. Go for it! Not to worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_galt Posted October 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 7, 2019 No moving parts. I can't imagine it's damaged. This thread shows what's inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondfk Posted October 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 7, 2019 There are 3 layers of connectivity, two of which are passive (e,g, very difficult to break). The Bluetooth is active technology that perhaps could be damaged. However, as others note these things have very little mass and likely would survive any sort of fall you might encounter in real life - my guess is your Medallions are as good as new. The entirely passive capacitive ID technology is practically indestructible. Onboard you can sort of guess which technology is being used where. If your door unlocks when you are 10 feet away, probably Bluetooth. If it unlocks when you tap the medallion, likely capacitive. When the shop asks you to confirm your name, but not tap your medallion, likely NFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franktown Posted October 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Not a big deal even if you did some damage. They will be glad to give you a new one at check-in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchip Posted October 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The only way my medallion worked was when I dropped it in the hallway by our cabin!😂 Cheers, Denise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
