125 is correct. That looks like the same device I bought though they all look very similar.
There is no holding for mine. I have the card on the table, put the left side of the reader against the card (the upper part of the reader on the same side as the finger grips), then press and release the read button. I immediately see the busy light come on, hear three beeps, and then the green light comes on. This happens so quickly that it might all take place before I actually release the button.
You might want to make sure your card still works and you didn’t accidentally overwrite it (not sure if that’s even possible). If the card is still good it sounds like maybe the reader is bad.
