[Q] SIM tray repair

I have a Media pad s7 with a broken sim tray. I was using a sim adapter to change a mini sim to full size sim and it got stuck when I was trying to remove it, so sadly the bit of extra force needed, damaged to sim tray and it now has broken contacts. Does anyone know where I can send it for repair. There does not sem to be a service centre in Australia so I would be happy to send it to any other country for repair.
Thanks

My SIM tray is also broken, but not my fault. The service made me an offer 380 US $ .. i think it is cheaper to buy an other device.
For me ..no more Huawei

Sim error invalid sim issue

Hi anyone experienced this?
I experienced this when I tried to remove my sim but the sim got stuck and I had to use some force.
Now it won't read sim anymore come up with sim error and sim card invalid. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
What should I do surely it's defective ? I applied bit of force not enough to break it or damage it.
You could try if it accepts someone else's SIM card and check if it accepts that card. And you could try your SIM card in another phone. But from the looks of it it does look like you did break the SIM or the SIM slot. It is possible that the card getting stuck actually was getting stuck on one of the pins and it might be out of place now.
If it is actually a defect in the phone I fear you will have to take it to a shop to get it repaired.
In the end returned it and bought Note 2 LTE. Good move glad I did it.

I had the same issue and took the phone back to Rogers. They replaced it for me with a brand new one.

Sim card slot replacement

I have searched eBay and Google with various searches but have found nothing. My g3 Sim card readers pins have been damaged and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to buy a lot for repair. I can find replacement parts for many other phones but not the g3. Anyone have a link or know how to obtain this part? Or maybe even how to fix it? I got the phone very cheap to use as a media device but if I can fix it I would use it. Thanks a lot.
Probably need a whole new motherboard
OP, did you get your phone repaired? If so, where and how much was it?

Me, too
I broke my SIM card reader, too. Stupid mistake, I should know better. I could get a replacement reader, but I don't have the skill to replace it myself and I don't know who I could send it to to get it done. I miss my Ultra.
