My A2 sim card connector has broken..
i'm gonna open the cellphone and try to fix it.. but i'll probably need a new one..
I googled for a long time but only found it at cellphone-repair-shop..
does anybody know another website with atrix2/motorola parts?
Thanks!
I know this is a very old post, but did u manage to get ur hands on the sim tray??
My reader is also destroyed. From that I see you can solder it very easy. One day I'll try it, because Atrix 2 is not my main device. So if I'll destroy board by soldering new socket - there wont be problem.
I posting my destroyed socket picture.
Some news.
I desoldered SIM reader with success. Phone still powers on.
Now I only need to buy new reader and solder it and see if phone accepts new sims. So stay tuned.

My MyTouch 4g does not read any sim card. I have sim unlocked the phone and s=off. Ive flash all the radios non work! Tried 4 different sims (T-mobile, AT&T,Straight Talk (NOKIA E71), Simple Mobile) all failed. Flashed 5 different roms including the orginal.
Can any one help me????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the sims card sensor readers on the phone by the battery are damaged have u had anything get into yo phone like dust or water

Are you inserting the sim card the right way?
i havent got any water in it. I have to check for dust and yes im intersting it just like the picture on the phone
The first thing I'd go with on something like this is a physical problem.
Is the SIM card seating properly in the little slot? There's that metal bar that goes over it to give the springy connectors something to push against to form a good contact. It's possible that the connectors aren't being pushed into the card enough.
It's worth a shot to push it in with a finger with the battery cover off just to see if you can make a connection. If you get anywhere with that maybe try cutting a playing card up and sliding it in over the SIM to basically make the SIM card a little big and tighter in the slot.
Since different cards aren't working and different ROM's don't fix it it's a fair bet that you're looking at a hardware problem. If it's an electronic problem you're screwed. If it's a "the slot doesn't hold the card tight problem" you have options.
May be too simple, but did you put your SIM card in the wrong way? Haha, don't be offended, because I am not trolling in any way. But this happened to a friend of mine the other day.
I actually joined this site for the same problem but my WiFi and Bluetooth don't work either. Mine is obviously a radio problem but I can't seem to get my phone to flash new radios...
So i needed to change the module board of SIM Card, got one on ebay, opened the phone and replaced the little board with 1 flex conector.
but NOW when i turn on the phone theres no message of "sim card not found" and theres circled slash on where suposed to be network.
am i missing something or i might just screwd it up?
Open it up again and make sure everything in connected correctly and that nothing is shorted.

ok finally made it.
the thing was that its so damn fragile...o replaced many times the boards in many diferent and sensitive ways...and then one way worked out even though i cannot tell whats the different between the correct position and the other ones that did not recognize the SIM CARD module/board.
Error for me too

Hi, I am facing the same issue. Whatever the sim I am inserting, I am getting "Insert Sim Card" message only. Will this work if I replace same like what you did? Can you paste the link?

I had a similar problem, turned out the replacement tray was bad.
I don't get to say this often but I actually encountered great customer service. I ordered the replacement sim card tray/sdcard holder for a Samsung device on which the sim card reader had been damaged. I received the one piece tray but the sdcard slot was non-functional. I wrote an email pointing out the flaw with no expectations. Got a new part in 2 days. No run around at'all! No 2 hours navigating an automated phone nightmare (Net10/AT&T), just a dang email. I gave em good feedback ratings on their site of course! I don't know if it's allowed but it's so rare to find good folks I feel the need to pimp em.

I just replaced my Sim Card tray. It was working fine.
But for my own safety i re-set the whole phone and re-flashed cm10.1
Phone is working fine. Reading sim, microsd card but sadly i'm stuck on 2g now.
disassembly
I am in having to replace the sim card holder on my skyrocket but I am having trouble finding out how the sim card holder board is attached to the main board,,could someone direct me to some kind of disassembly guide or something
thanks
I have had my Atrix 2 for a little over a year and I love it. Last week I got an LG Optimus G and like it but I also love my Atrix 2. I like the web top and the hdmi out. So the first few times I used the adapter it was fine now when I try it says no sim card. I removed 9 screws from the back and took the back cover off but still can't address the pins. Can anyone help me here? I tried to Google it but the only thing I found was a replacement part to put the sim card in the Atrix 2 but no instructions. I believe I can fix this but just need access to the pins.

Are you sure it is the pins in the phone? I would first try a new adapter and sim card in case one of those is the problem so you don't have to dig around i the phone.
If it is the pins, I doubt I can be of much help, I've never taken this phone apart, but from past experience, it is a pain, as everything is really packed together!
also, the pins are probably SMD soldered, so make sure you know what you are doing with that. It is pretty tough in small spaces especially if you haven't done it much before.
Sorry I didn't specify before but I'm sure they are messes up partially because even when I took the adapter out and put a original att sim card from my sisters phone it says no sim card. However I liked the sim card once and then it recognised it. So I think they are just a little bent but not broken off

Hi, I just purchased a Galaxy S7 SM-G930FD and wanted to do the 2 sim and 1 SD card mod so that I could have both my lines plus SD card however the mod got stuck in my tray, I damaged the micro SD card and Sim card and I had to push the eject tool so hard that it damaged the ejection mechanism! Now the tray won´t go all the way in! What´s the replacement part that I need to order and where can I buy it?
Thanks!

Hi
Check in Ebay they have them OEM or generic
Thanks, What should I look for?
Hi! Thanks! The thing is I don´t what to look for. I´ve searched for the motherboard but that doesn´t have the card slot, neither does the front or back chasis. I would prefer to buy a piece that includes the card slot so I won´t have to solder anything.

Hi Max 404, Thanks! but the tray is in perfect condition, what I ruined and need to replace is the slot where the tray goes, would you happen to know which part of the phone comes with the card reader slot? I´ve found the reader itself but I have very little experience soldering.
Thanks a bunch

That is going to be very expensive , is the mainboard and lots of disassembly...not easy at all
Check here (step 11)
Here part number , plus no IMEI you have to get someone to transfer your original Imei to the new mainboard.......
Did you ever successfully fix it?
Same problem on S8+
after bending 2 eject tools to get the tray out (had installed 2 SIM + Micro SD mod) I managed to get the tray to stick out from the phone for like 2 microns!. the tray wouldnt move out any further so what I ended up doing was to pull the tray out with the help of dental floss! as genius as I thought I was, soon after I found out that the tray no longer sits flush inside the phone. even without any SIM or SD card. the tray it self looks alright. I think I have damaged the eject mechanism as well. Has any one solved this issue? am I looking at a costly repair? could it be the tray being deformed?
I cant post pictures sadly yet here. would appreciate if any one can help.
I've searched around and couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for. Hope this is the right spot. So I've been doing phone repairs on the side for a couple years, I don't claim to be an expert, I try to stick to just basic screen repairs and simple component replacement. I stay away from anything involving soldering because I don't have the equipment or the patience. Someone brought me a Galaxy s6 active today and he destroyed the SIM card reader trying to fish out his sim card with a (get ready for it) sewing needle! I explained to him what a pain in the butt the s6 actives are to take apart and get all the way down to the sim tray, which led me to wonder if there is any kind of adapter or external SIM card reader you can plug into the phone through the charging port and connect to the network? I come across these situations all the time where people have phones that have damaged SIM card readers and the repair costs outweigh the price of the whole phone. So is this possible?
