For a some reason I had to install cutted(from mini-SIM) card into my phone. It is little bit thicker then tipical microSIM card. Of course I cut it manually, using template. But, during pluging this card I broke push-pull lock of SIM card holder. I mean now I'm not able to pull the SIM from slot by pushing it, like I can do with SD card.
I little bit disassemble the phone(up to see simcard holder) but do not found the way how to fix lock.
So I'm looking for HQ images of working lock and maybe some explanations how it works. I guess metal legs bent, but i'm not sure...

Hey all,
So i go to check for a file on my sd card today and i noticed that the phone can't find it. I double check that it is snuggly plugged in, but nothing shows up. I placed the sd card in my old captivate and that reads it fine.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
EDIT** it seems that no sd card is being recognized by the phone, almost like its turned off?
An issue with the phones SD card connectors has been reported here in a couple of the SD card threads. The fix is to turn off the phone, remove the SD card, and using a pin or tiny screw driver carefully bend the two connectors that normally press up against the contacts on the SD card. Just don't bend them too much. Put the SD cardback, in power up the phone and you should be good.
Thanks for the reply, i got the phone off and the sd card out and i'm trying to look at the connectors but with the metal strip that holds the sd card on, its hard to see the connectors / get to them. Any tips on that?
EDIT** well i thought i broke it haha, but it's actually working now
Thanks =)
Hi everyone. I have problem with my micro sim tray. When I insert my sim card in the tray, it can go in but it doesn't stay "locked", but tray ejects it immediately, instead of "locking" it and holding it. I guess the problem is that I have been using manually cut sim card which was smaller than the original micro sim I now want to insert.
Is there a way to fix this somehow without buying a new part to replace the tray?
Thanks in advance!
the slot is like 5 bucks, so I'd just replace it
I have a nano SIM that I had put in a micro sim holder and have been using. last night I wanted to swap the SIM card and when I pulled the tray out, the NANO SIM card has come out - but the SIM CARD TRAY HOLDER and MICRO SIM HOLDER are struck to something inside and not coming out - I think inner edge of Micro Holder is struck to something. I can push in but cant pull out....
any help how to get it out.

Don’t force it out. you will break the sim pins connector inside phone. It seems the sim adapter hang up with some of the sim pins in the phone.
try to insert thin piece between the adapter and the phone connector. see if it will free the adapter
Hello. I purchased this phone in UK(Now i am in Italy). I found that my sim card is a bit thick and now it's stucked. Thanks
Try using a small pair of needle nose pliers. Or, don't try and force a micro sim into a nano sim slot, or upside down, or any foregn objects, and it wont get stuck.
I have a pushed pin on the sim card slot. Any fix?
You can try to put it in place again and hope it works or just order whole card "reader" online. It's like 1$ and replacement is super easy (its juz one screw and plug)
Depends what you mean by "pushed pin". If it is bent then the chances of straightening it are slim. If it is just stuck down below its surroundings then try to use a dressmakers pin to lift it back up.
