Replace sim card slot reader - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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.

Open it up again and make sure everything in connected correctly and that nothing is shorted.

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.

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.

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

SD Card slot failed

On my tf300t the sd card slot will no longer hold the sd card in, when you push sd card into the sd card slot there is no "click" followed by the sd card being locked into place, spring seems to work ok as I can shoot the sd card across the room lol. If I hold the sd card in place it will mount ok.
Does anyone know can the entire sd slot be replaced ? Is it a modular thing or solder into the a board ?
If it is replaceable where can I order the replacement part (aside from asus assuming they sell replacement parts) ?
The tablet is about 1.5 years old, sd card slot should last longer very disappointed in quality of tf300t.
Thanks in advance,
Tony

But idk if you can actually get another working SD card slot it may or may not be generic

Thanks for the link, I took a look at the Step 2 photo, and it appears the sd card slot is attached to board, and that board can be removed and replaced, appears to be several ribbon connectors.
Now just have to figure out where to get the part.
Thanks

The slot is soldered onto the daughter card which also controls the touchscreen. It can be removed and replaced, but some skills are required. Otherwise, just buy a used one off ebay. Turn the service switch off, or disconnect the battery BEFORE touching anything inside the tab. Otherwise, you risk frying components. After replacing the daughter card, you might have to reflash the firmware to make it work with your current digitizer. Be patient when working on it.

[Q] Removing the SIM card

Hi there!
Is there any fancy way to get the sim card out? I have tried the usual push-and-pop-out method but it seems I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance!
You need long nails ?
Edit #was talking about the sd card.
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
It needs to be gently pushed in, there will be a click and it will come out. You can use an object that fits in the slot area with a blunt edge. I used a micro sd to sd card adapter. Also make sure the slot cover is twisted 180 so it is out of the way of the sim card.

Brand new Z5 not detecting any SD cards

Anyone know of any fixes for this?
Inserted the SD card (tried 2, one san disk & one samsung) but it isn't detecting them at all, I put the card back into my Z3 and it works perfectly, i've even tried sticking some paper under the card in the tray to prop it up a bit because the sim card looked a little higher in the tray but nothing
Card facing the right way vertically and horizontally?
Yeah theres only 1 way it'll go into the tray, Got a new one coming tomorrow anyways, hopefully that will work properly lol

format SD-Card with Ubuntu
and then reformat it to FAT32 on Windows
:good:
Was a dodgy phone, not the card, thanks though

Fix Sim Card Issue

Maybe it has come up before, but I wanted to create a quick thread about this issue, because it has seriously began to getting on my nerves the last couple of weeks.
In the beginning when my phone didn't detect the sim card(s) I simply had to reboot.After that I had to remove the sim card manually and insert them back into the slot.At some point they weren't detected at all.
I searched in the Lenovo forum and found this thread:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...lus-SIM-card-randomly-disappears/td-p/3543823
For now I've cut out a tiny piece of paper and put it between the sim card and the top side of the slot, rebooted and voila.
My both cards were detected.
I've ordered two adapter, because the method with the paper is provisional at best and hopefully it will solve this until I get a replacement for the cards or buy a new phone.
With best regards
