unexpected error: Fail SCard API : (-2146435042) 0x8010001E Device=0, hCard=16861477009170104320, hContext=14771806782070194176
What does that mean?
Which operating system are you using and which version of the CLI (or GUI)?
Have you tried using a different USB cable and/or USB port? Your cable might not be working properly anymore, which inhibits the GUI from functioning properly (in conjunction with a Ledger device).
With a second USB cable I have something new though, I have an other error message
unexpected error: Fail SCard API : (-2146435025) 0x8010002F Device=0, hCard=16861477009170104320, hContext=14771806816429932544
And on the Ledger, it's dispayed "Fee 0.00838096" then when I go down it is displayed "Reject fee", then when I go down again it is displayed "Accept fee", but I cannot really choose to accept or reject the fee, I don't have the option to validate. Anyway there is the above error message on the GUI.
Could you perhaps try the new release?

This is the GUI v0.13.0.3 'Beryllium Bullet' point release, which a user should run to be sufficiently prepared for the scheduled protocol upgrade of October 18 (for which more information can be found here).
