[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.

pins on the SIM slot broke please help!

While removing a stuck SIM, the pin at the edge seems to be broken and now it wont recognize any SIM cards.
I found replacement parts online but anyone have any ideas on how to replace this??
Any help would be appreciated.
nearest phone service should be able to do it...
or you can buy the slot on ebay

[Q] What is SIM IC? And where is it located in the device?

So there is something wrong with the SIM tray in my i9300 S3. The mechanism which holds the SIM card in place seems to have gone wrong. The SIM card doesn't stay in place when I push it in.
I know that the SIM tray is a part that is easy to replace. But since my phone is still under warranty, I took it back to the shop I bought it from. Now they've got back to me saying the SIM IC has been damaged as well and needs replacing. And that this repair is chargeable.
According to them "The sim IC is that which allows the sim card to detect a mobile network". I told them I've never had a problem with mobile reception on my phone. But they're saying that the damaged SIM IC may cause problems in future even though there is no problem now.
So my question is
What is SIM IC and where exactly is it located in the phone?
If the SIM IC gets damaged in future, would it be easy to replace like the SIM tray?
Is there any truth to what they're telling me or is it possible that they're trying to make some extra cash off me?
Thanks in advance for your help.

So SIM IC is a chip deep inside the phone. How is it user damage when I've never opened up the phone? Sounds like a manufacturing defect to me

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?
