Hi. I used a sim adapter with a mini sim card from another phone for some testing. The adapter was so cheaply made, that it broke inside the reader while i was pulling it out.
The card is OK but now the phone cannot read any sim card. I removed the paper sticker from the top of the reader and it looks like one pin is missing or bend. Does the top metal part of the reader come off? Is this part available anywhere? Thanks.
I removed the sim card reader and 3 pins are broken. I think by the looks this one for Blackberry is the same. If not i have to locate a broken XT720 to swap the upper boards that hold the card readers.
Phone is back in service. I didn't buy the SIM card reader, instead i got a broken XT720 for cheap from Ebay, replaced the small Sim-micro Sd card reader board and SIM was recognized. Plus i got some spare parts now just in case.

Long story short I was taking my sim card out and I broke 2 pins on the top. I got quoted $100 for a new sim card reader which is a little too much. I was wondering if there is a cheap fix available.
Thanks.
In Italy someone has got it repaired under warranty. It often happens when using microsim with adapters.
I can't help you anyway, sorry.
Not sure which sub forum this was most appropriate, so I'm trying here
I have a G2X from T-mobile USA, and the small board that contains the sim reader and microsd reader is damaged, though only the sim reader. 2 of the gold prongs are missing, there for it will not read any sim card.
Does anyone know where I can get that board as a replacement part? or if there is ANY way to fix the prongs?

So i received my new Infuse just today and while removing the SIM card, the two pins out of the three inside, under the housing (just outside i can see 6 pins), has to be broken / bent. It had come out of the housing on the other side (where 6 pins can be seen).
In order to put them back in place, i had to use a tweezer to bend the housing bit up so i can push those 2 pins back in place.
After this inserted my non AT&T SIM card and unlocked the phone. Then removed the SIM card and tried another SIM and it said there is no SIM.
Again i put my old SIM which worked and for that too it said there is no SIM.
I think the damage is done and i am so so angry on myself
Is there absolutely any hope left for me ?
Is this thing repairable ??
The small pin has come out so yes the SIM slot is officially bust now.
What hope do i have ??
Hello all
I recieved my new iOCEAN X7 Elite from China today.
I went to the shop to buy a SIM card and was given the wrong card (Nano SIM). When I went back to the shop they gave me an adapter to make it into either a Micro SIM or a standard SIM. The adapter broke my Micro SIM slot. One of the pins has snapped off and is inside the phone case somewhere (it rattles if I shake it but won't fall out). It also damaged my standard SIM slot by bending a pin, but I have pushed it back into place and although it's not how it was originally it still functions.
I've looked online at aliexpress, taobao, ebay, and other sites for a replacement SIM card reader/slot for this phone. All I've found are replacements for the popular Samsung/Nokia/iPhone phones and nothing for my phone.
Does anyone know a replacement part that is compatible with my phone? I can live without the Micro SIM slot to be honest but it would be useful to use two SIMs, and just the idea that I received this phone today and a major function is not working within a few hours, is not good.
some of the pins in my sim card slot ripped off because I stupidly put a sim card with an adapter in the slot. It looks like I need a sim card slot replacement. Ebay has replacement sim slots, so I can buy one to obtain the replacement part.
I've tore apart the phone and put it back together ok and am pretty handy with a soldering iron. Does anybody know how where to find instructions on how to replace the slot?
