Thank you ultramag69 its informative.
Amigo, what has happened to your tab?
hey RC how are you long time? i have my sim stuck in the sim slot and it's not coming out. And the golden metal thing inside the sim slot looks weird now all metals messed up.
Mine got stuck too. I'm sorry for your trouble.

Hi All!
I have acquired the International (N7000) version of Samsung Galaxy Note, white colour.
However, I managed to damage / destroy the sim-card slot within the phone, by insteading a microSIM adapter with microSIM that I had. I am positive the PINs are broken inside or bend, or whatever.
Everything works perfectly except the phone function due to the damanged sim0card slot.
Since I am in GTA (Toronto-Ontario Area in Canada), I was wondering if anyone knew where to get this serviced and fixed? I need to fix this ASAP, I am out of a phone, using old Nokia ones ...
Thanks for your time.
I got it fixed...
Hey All!
My situation is been resolved.
I got it fixed at Pacific Mall in Toronto (Steeles Ave & Kennedy Rd), Store #A22; GUBU Mobile
$40.00 and requires one night overstay (for the phone)
Hi everyone I have a galaxy note and having problem with the sim tray!! I heard the only way to fix it is changing the main board. Where can I buy the main board???

i put a microsim to sim adapter and it broke the sim contacts on the tray!! Thats why I don't have warranty. Do anyone know what can I do???
How much does Samsung charge for this repair? I think it is better to have them repair it.
U should try diferent micro sim before u buy main board, u have two type of micro sim , sim with smaller chip and with bigger, the smaller one are causing problem, some of them are not working and some of them have problem with contact.

and that someone screwed it up worse..... i should be able to fix it i pm'd you
..broke mine too!!
..did a similar thing to my Note.....the sim card caught one of the connectors in the sim tray and pulled it off!!!...found a cool video on how to dismantle it (1st video on on "dismantle galaxy note"search) on you tube....on closer inspection the connector had broken and pulled away from the circuit board too (not happy!!). Have hunted high and low to try and find someone who could supply a replacement main board....without any luck - if there's anyone out there that could point us in the write direction/add a link here....i'd love you forever!!
Really missing my Note right now!!!
New mobo for Galaxy Note? Check these guys out!!!
vicdroid84 you may be in luck......have found these guys, their based in Birmingham and are called Intercity business telecommunications (wont let me add the link here) tel:0121 643 7373.....have spoken to them, they can supply and fit a new mobo for about £130......takes about 48 hours upon them getting it to repair...am sending mine of today!!!!!........yipppeeeee!!
Samsung replaces the SIM tray. I read it is less than 50$ and sometime it is free.
Changing MOBO for a SIM tree is like changing a Car engine for a small nut
i recommend you take it to a company that's not Samsung to fix it, Samsung wont fix it if you don't have a warranty

Just pointing out to the OP that the above might be misinformation. The fix should be free if it's a warranty and $50 if it is a sim issue.
and as i said earlier.. if samsung wont fix it .. i can and will... and i can say so far i havent voided a warranty as in the warranty is still good after ive done the repair.. thats how clean..... so anyone with the problem just pm me... its legit too. got pretty good at board level repairs over the past 22 years working for some big name manufacturers... just trying to help...already helped a few on here....
Sim pins
I too broke off 1 of the 3 pins pulling a microsim out. I ordered and received the sim connector from parts4repair.com. But I think I have to solder off the current connector then solder on the replacement. Am I correct?

Hey folks,
I have a small issue with my SGS i9000 GT which I bought in 2011. I have a nano sim which I use in my HTC one M8 and I use a sim adapter to use the same sim in my SGS. Recently I was stupid enough to just put the adapter void of the sim into SGS sim tray and while pulling it out, I damaged the sim tray. I think the 2 little forks out of 3 were uprooted. :crying:
I took it a small repair shop nearby and try to get the sim tray changed. Now it detects the sim but it shows no service. I tried it with couple of other small shops and they say that the IC needs to be changed. Has anyone experienced something like this? I run a Mackay rom, will factory reset or flashing again help if it's a network / software issue. Any light in this regard would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I also "almost" made the same mistake.. Your most likely gonna have to replace whatever board to fix your sun tray. You've most likely pulled the pins free of the board. Maybe a new sim tray and someone who is really good at soldering can fix this. maybe...
doubt very much it is software as it was working before you did this. But it's worth a try re-flashing. In my opinion your going to need to replace the board with the memory chips attached, if I remember right from when I've dismantled my S1.
I would find a dirt cheap phone on eBay with a broken screen and pull the board with tray from that and put it in yours. Doing so with also mean your going to need to backup your data as you'll have new internal memory.
It's not too difficult to do this yourself, lots of good YouTube videos. Also what I've had to do in the past when I fried my internal memory.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong. Good luck!

I see this as a DIY opportunity :laugh: I will try to reflash the phone and if it doesn't work then I'll DIY the IC myself. I will update the progress here. Thank you for your valuable opinion.
Cheers!
I don't know how it happened, but reading around the net, I found out my stylus on my Note 5 got inserted backwards and then yanked out. Now my S Pen sensor isn't working anymore. I am reading mixed responses on whether Verizon will replace it for Free while its still under the 1 year warranty. Anyone know? Thanks
Hello there, beginner here, my current phone note 5 motherboard was dead, (checked by phone shop). I'm learning to fix my phone by myself. But I found out there's little different between logic board model and its price.
I would like to have senior advice about the effect, will it affect the phone function to make calls if I insist to buy the cheap logic board to use back the phone?
Appreciate for any replies and helps!
Thank You!
