[Q] I9300 SIM tray not holding sim card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

SIM card holder issue

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...

[Q] micro SIM card holder struck

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

SIM1 slot ruined

I was trying to use a micro SIM with adapter.. It got stuck there.. And when I removed it... I broke two of the bronze coloured spikes of the slot.. And now my SIM 1 slot is not working... SIM 1 not detected... How much do you suppose it will cost?

[Q] Sim card reader Broken, can you please have a look (Pic)

HI!
I have a problem with a HTC One Max.
it can not read the Sim Card (GSM)
I opened the Sims Card Reader and it seems that there are some Pins Broken.
Did someone of you know how much Pins have to be connected to the Sim Card (O2 Germany)
and may be a Idea to easily repair it
Have a Look:

May it be possible with some Solder drops and than Tape the Sim on top of it?
Very easy but cheap method!?

Help! Sim card stuck..

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.
