[Q] Spare part : sim reader

Hello,
Some days are better than others...
I managed to break several of the small metal pins in the sim reader, don't ask me how but I did it =(
I unmounted the phone and it's really just a small circuit board linked to the motherboard with a single ribbon
I have googled for where to find this spare part but no chance so far
Would you know where I could find this part and help me revive my Nexus S ?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for deleting my useless post : just found out a link in the post below !
Sorry =(

Did you find a solution ? My sim card reader (or sim card tray) is broken too and I can't find the replacement part to buy...

Couldn't you guys just do a warranty claim? It shouldn't break that easily unless you were messing with it.

I can't claim warranty since it's "customer induced damage" : needed to insert my sim card into an Ipad. Not willing to lose my micro sim adapter, I put it in the Nexus S without a sim in an tore the pins when taking it out
Moreover, I live in Europe and Samsung has after-sales per region, if not country. they would'nt accept an US purchased handset anyway.
Didn't find any trace of this spare part on any other site but globaldirectpart and it's still showing as "Coming soon"....

I am in Brazil and the phone hasn't arrived in here so Samsung Brasil don't touch it.... despite the fact that they are going to say that this is not covered by warranty.
I did not find anywhere else too...

How about insurance then? But I'm assuming you don't have that either or can't.
Good luck to finding the part though. Globaldirectpart seems to have a tendency of inflating price.

Don't have any insurance for my phones and it wouldn't work either cos I damaged the phone myself =)
I don't really mind the price since it would cost me about 50 euros including shipping due to the exchange rate between $ and €. Just missing my phone a lot and tired of waiting =)

Thanks but we've known that for weeks =)
The best part is the "Coming soon" !!!

Yep! We still waiting for the replacement part to be available... I read about a guy that replaced it with a Galaxy S part... but I did not figure out how.

I called a few suppliers in Asia but no luck so far
it's killing me to have my Nexus S in a drawer for a 10 bucks spare part =(

Yes, me too... that's why I love Apple and my iPhone... Samsung sucks... If I find it anywhere I will post it. I will try to find some more information about replacing it with Galaxy S part.

Do you have any link about this guy using the Galaxy S tray ?

update
Anyone have an update on this? I just broke one of the pins inside the sim tray as well....I am unable to find the parts anywhere online. This is driving me nuts....I'll even pay to repair it!

How did you break yours? I can see the op breaking his with an empty micro sim adapter, but if this is breaking from normal usage, that's not good..

Not yet. I've read that it is possible to replace it with the Galaxy S sim tray. I've bought one and I am waiting it to arrive. I should have it in one week.
It seems that this sim tray is not good at all...

Bad News! The Galaxy S connector is different from the Nexus S one. Look at the picture:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I believe that the guy who changed it, changed only the sim part, keeping the "sim board" the same... I don't know how to do it, I will try to find out, if anyone know, please help me.

if you read the post carefully, the guy did say sim tray, you can use most sim tray, as long as the pins are position 3+3 at each sides, but you must know how to solder/desolder.

Do you know how do I do it ? I know how to solder/desolder, but I don't know exactly what should I do.
Here is a picture of the Galaxy S Sim Tray. Should I desolder this points marked by the red arrow (and off course in the oposite side) and sold it to the Nexus S board ? Is the sim tray just fixed by this solded points ?

Sony Xperia Z L36h sim card reader broken

Afternoon guys,
Dont ask me how, but my sister has well and truly buggered her sim card reader on her xperia z, i suspect she inserted her sim the wrong way round,
She sent it off and rightly so Sony sent it back saying they wont repair it due to user error
Now i have found a replacement sim card reader, and looked at a teardown guide,
was just wondering however if anyone had attempted it, from the tear down guide it looks like the sim reader is attached to the logic board so a replacement reader wouldnt exactly help, but i cant be sure till i open it up
Anyone with any advise would be greatly received
Regards

Xperia Z sim reader can be damaged by either using a nano sim adapter or placing sim incorrectly. Sony will not cover this error under warranty and yes the sim card reader is soldered onto the board like all other components. You will need the old damaged sim card reader soldered off from the motherboard and a new sim reader soldered onto the board this will definitely fix your issue i have fixed a few in the past with this same fault
Thanks

Same

SONY did screw this model up, don't worry, is not your daughter fault, I damaged mine without sim adapter and always the sim was inserted facing backside of the phone, like in instructions, one pin was torn upside down. So thanks SONY for this ****ty sim card reader .
Back to your problem, I sugest take your phone to a professional technician for soldering the reader since others components wich are nearby could be damaged. Also, special tools like hot air soldering iron are necessary. Take care.

[Q] SGS i9000 sim tray and network issues

Hey folks,
I have a small issue with my SGS i9000 GT which I bought in 2011. I have a nano sim which I use in my HTC one M8 and I use a sim adapter to use the same sim in my SGS. Recently I was stupid enough to just put the adapter void of the sim into SGS sim tray and while pulling it out, I damaged the sim tray. I think the 2 little forks out of 3 were uprooted. :crying:
I took it a small repair shop nearby and try to get the sim tray changed. Now it detects the sim but it shows no service. I tried it with couple of other small shops and they say that the IC needs to be changed. Has anyone experienced something like this? I run a Mackay rom, will factory reset or flashing again help if it's a network / software issue. Any light in this regard would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I also "almost" made the same mistake.. Your most likely gonna have to replace whatever board to fix your sun tray. You've most likely pulled the pins free of the board. Maybe a new sim tray and someone who is really good at soldering can fix this. maybe...
doubt very much it is software as it was working before you did this. But it's worth a try re-flashing. In my opinion your going to need to replace the board with the memory chips attached, if I remember right from when I've dismantled my S1.
I would find a dirt cheap phone on eBay with a broken screen and pull the board with tray from that and put it in yours. Doing so with also mean your going to need to backup your data as you'll have new internal memory.
It's not too difficult to do this yourself, lots of good YouTube videos. Also what I've had to do in the past when I fried my internal memory.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Good luck!

I see this as a DIY opportunity :laugh: I will try to reflash the phone and if it doesn't work then I'll DIY the IC myself. I will update the progress here. Thank you for your valuable opinion.
Cheers!

I'm wondering the same, I have found a few on ebay, one on Amazon and some direct shipped from China, I don't mind the waiting on the shipping, and don't have a broken tray. Wanted the dual sim/sd card tray, so I can see if my US Mate 10 Pro will be able to use an SD card if I do order and get one. I know 128 gb is plenty, and if it doesn't work, I'm OK with that. Just like to keep pic's and music and some data on an sd card.

if you use the dual sim tray you also lose the sd card slot.

The Pro doesn't have a sd card slot.
And from what I've read it's missing the sd card chip/reader pins so it probably won't work anyway, even if you manage to hack something together.
