A friend of mine inserted the SIM tray the wrong way in supposedly and has ruined some internal components rendering the slot useless. I see replacements are available for relatively cheap, wanting to find out how they are actually replaced though.
I suppose the SIM card slot is soldered on the motherboard. you will need professional instrument when need to re-solder the new slot.
how difficult would this be? I have soldering experience, and am just wondering if all i have to do is unsolder the SIM CARD SLOT out and then just solder the new one back on…. is it just those 4 legs on this picture? http://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi…
I’m having the same issue, did you ever find out what it takes to replace/resolder the sim reader?
Bump + Having the same problem.
Unfortunately I screwed it up, it’s way too small to fix unfortunately for me. So I bought another motherboard, but you can go to a cell phone repair place and they can fix it for like 95 bucks… Good luck
