i was inserting my nano sim into the phone with the use of sim adaptor to check my nano sim's text messages, after then i was removing the sim adaptor with the nano sim in it, it felt like it is stucked, i was forced to get it by pushing the sim going out through the use of a needle, after it was forcedly removed, looks like a pin or two bent outward, i was trying to return it back to place until 3 pins were suddenly cutted.
now shown on the left side of the picture is my s3, and on the right is my a picture of my friend's note 2.
my s3 was supposed to be like that on the note 2 that it still has 6 pins.
my phone won't read any sim now
how much does it cost to let this be repaired in samsung centre? i hope there's still part that is available, i think this part is called sim card holder flex, but not so sure though,
or is there any way i could fix this by myself? like by adding some pin-like material(the gold one) so that it would still be attached with the sim and allows the phone to read it?

Contact your local Samsung and ask them the price .

Not something you can fix yourself. Off to samsung service center it goes. Cost would depend on where you are.
If I remember rightly it is a fairly cheap repair, and I seem to remember seeing a YouTube tut on how to replace it, but I'm not certain on either of those points! (Age!)

thanks for the help ..
And how i can remove the old sokket of micro sim (red color on the picture) ?
Glue three seconds is good ?
See the teardown and re-assembly video in the link below, the S3 looks easy to repair.

Wow, that guy makes it look pretty easy yeah I might try my hand at replacing the SIM card slot too, as i damaged it somewhat already (bad attempts at cutting a mini-SIM to micro-SIM )
According to the VIDEO I saw, remove the socket that, by knife (disposable) .. OK
And return the socket, just click and click and that's it? , No need glue?
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Tomer

Depends if the new socket has some sticky tape/glue on its backside, like the original. Otherwise you'll have to use some yourself..double-sided tape should do the trick.
I felt I needed to share what problems I had with a seller on ebay.
I purchased a second hand CAT B15 "mint condition". When i received the phone it come in a un-formatted state with all the previous contacts and messages and even email still intact.
I browsed through a few messages out of curiosity, common who wouldn't?. It was interesting at the time because the message indicated that he was pissed off with his new phone and wanted his kids to look at it, I also felt sorry for him because his phone was full of those late night TV porn text numbers you text for porn and pay £3 over and over and get ripped off. who does that? anyway I felt pity and just formatted everything.
later that day I went to put a new sim in there, and there was a micro SIM adapter in the slot. i tried to remove carefully but it was stuck. I didn't force it as I could see what the problem was. The microSIM adapter has a opening in it, as im sure all of you know, once you put it in without a sim in it, its stuck in there and traps the pins.
I used a cut up beer can and some pins to carefully remove it from the phone, happy I did not force or break any of the pins.
When I tried to install my sim, I discovered the pins had been badly twisted and bent. FROM the person who sold it on Ebay not by me.
I tried to call him out on his bull**** but he played it cool and just pretended he put it back in for the next person. I guess he was hoping the new person would make the same mistake as him and think they damaged it when trying to remove it.
I looked at his previous listings and he had bad feedback for selling a fake watch for 1900 pounds.
Anyway. I launched a dispute and Ebay ultimately sided with him based on the fact that I removed the microSIM and was therefor not in the same condition in which is was sent. Their logic does not go as far to think that I had to remove it to discover that he had damaged it in the first place. Jacky Bush at ebay was the person who sided with him on this.
Moral of the story, If you put a phone on ebay that you damaged yourself and leave the micoSIM adapter inside it, you can claim it was them and ebay will agree with you..
Determined not to let him win. I opened up the phone and managed to repair it. Heres the pictures.

Help with back screws
Sorry for reopening this threat but you the only person i found who opened a B15.
I just want to ask if you had any problems with the back cover screws.
I sent my phone for repair and when they returned it the plastic for the screws was broken
Is this something like tamper protection for warranty ?
I just purchased Verizon One Max phone and messed up sim reader pins. Is there anyway to fix this by self. I called htc and they told me it could cost between 130 to 300 bucks.

What I meant was that there r 6 pins that makes connection with sim card in the slot. I was using an adapter nano to micro and that adapter
When try to pull it out it broke those pin coz they got stuck on it. It's hard to take pic bcoz the damage is hard to see.

So I am pretty sure that the silver cover is snapped on there with metal tabs. Take the sticker off the sim holder and take a look. Maybe if you can get that off you will get a better idea?

One Max sim card reader broken metal pins
Dear all,
Please someone guide me step by step on how to change the sim card reader because the pins have broken.
Thanks to all in advance if someone could response to my question.
Sincererly,

Hi
I dissassembled my g5 a few days ago for observ the warming location. then. while I am trying to put battery and bottom part. I broke the motherboard plug pin piece. two pins. its antenna connection. I dig into this with my bad soldering iron. I ruined some ways and some smd cap. Now can you explain it from the picture. could we make new ways and could we put the smd s on its places or new places. I cant find the schematic of board.
Could you explain schematic where only this broke location. ?

I have the same problem trying to repare the screen from my girlfriend old phone. The screen is now replaced, but I broke this tab during the disassembly. Now the phone cant make or receive any calls or sms.. It can search for service but cannot log onto them. So, I looked on the pcb with my multimeter and find the 2 connections to make. Ill try to solder it back together.

Good, this thread isn't too dead Did you have success with soldering them back? I'm thinking of shipping mine to a repair shop with microsoldering technology.
Hello,
I'm repairing PCB's for a hobby, and my opinion would be ...
just buy a new Mainboard, they schould be unter 90$(new), repairing would be more expensive, even if it is "only a few components".
The two pins on the top right are mechanically important to connect into something, it will be really hard to get those strong enough, if they're broken.
Without a datasheet i would guess those caps, could be bypass caps, and maybee the're not really needed.
hello,
while fixing my gps I broke the same thing, the antenna pins connecting to the chin. ???
Has anyone managed to fix this?
Regards
Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster here (and it's a long one too).
My OnePlus X is my daily driver and I was planning on using it for some more years if this is fixable
Recently the USB port started to fail, so I decided to replace the part. A little setback was that i also had to replace the GSM antenna cable, which I had damaged during disassembly. So far so good, the phone is now charging again and reception and mobile data are working fine.
However, ever since the repair my Wifi reception has gone to ****, it is now so bad that it's pretty much unusable even when right next to the router. I've come to the conclusion that this is not a problem with the antenna cable replacement, as removing this cable only kills cell reception, wifi is unchanged. You can see the cable i'm talking about running into the long side of the frame in the bottom of this

, with the golden connector on the lower edge of the motherboard (the other side connects to the USB flex cable, under the metal housing on the right). I believe the Wifi chipset itself is contained within the small housing in the upper middle of the board, with the + sign.
So now on to my question:
Does anyone know where exactly the wifi antenna on this phone is located? I'm assuming that it is being routed into the plastic/metal housing cover that's over the mainboard. I've made sure that none of the pins on the motherboard that connect to the housing cover are missing/bent or corroded. I've angled them up a little bit and cleaned them with alcohol to ensure a good contact.
But still, no wifi. Is it possible that the wifi chip itself got damaged in the repair and is there any way to find out?
Hopefully someone here knows something useful, I would be eternally grateful
Did you ever find a fix? I am having similar problems for one plus 3t
No, zero news on that front. I did some superficial research but was unable to pin-point the fault. I had to replace the phone, sadly.
