my i9000 wont recognise any sim.
its because on the sim reader the middle of the 3 gold metal bits has came away.
is the only way i can fix this to buy a new sim card reader then disassemble the phone and replace the only with the new then reassemble.
or..... is there something simpler i could do!?
i've never done anything like this before.
but i've talked to all phone shops in my area and none of them seem to do this sort of repair.

Can't figure out why. It's unlocked and I just took it back to factory settings.
For some reason it just stopped recognizing my SIM. Anything I can try? I would hate to assume it's broken.
Assuming you've searched the forum...
does the sim work on other phones? does another sim work in your kaiser or it doesn't recognize ANY sim?
have you tried cleaning the sim bay? (i dunno whats the recommended way to clean that area or even if cleaning it will make any difference)
and one more time...search this forum...i remember seeing quite a few threads about sims not getting recognized all of a sudden
My SIM works in other phones, but nothing works in this one.
I did search, but only found issues with the phone not reading it after flashing to a cooked ROM, not official ones. It didn't recognize it before or after I flashed to back to factory.
** I saw where apparently tmobile sims require a little more pressure, but that hasn't worked.
I've tried three different SIMS, one on tmo and one on att
So no one else?
similar issue !!
similar issue with gene(HTC 3400i)....
sending it for a replace tomorrow, but i will be thankful if somebody can advise a solution for this issue.
Have a look at this thread for a few ideas:

try cleaning your sim card with medical alcohol it help in some cases
ask for sim replacement from your network provided (from experience and reading - kiaser is very sensitive to sims)
Someone posted about this last month and his solution solved my problem.
Slide a piece of paper between the top of the SIM card and the top metal clip to push it down harder onto the contacts.
In my case some SIMs would not work, but this has cured it.
Tilt was previously working. Now shows "No SIM" on screen when any SIM is inserted.
Any idea what the issue might be?
I am not the current owner of the tilt, nor do I have access to it to test anything, so that is basically everything I know about it.
What is your best guess?
Thanks
is it your phone or is it a phone you got of e-bay.
If of e-bay it may be that yur IMEI is barred.

Ebay.
Well if that is that case great, because my carrier does not ban IMEIs, so it will work perfectly for me.
Is that really the message you would get if your IMEI was dissabled though? That doesn't really make sense, as it would see the SIM and you would see it say: Searching for network... Registering... and then it might say no SIM, but it says no SIM right away, so that can't really be it.
Any other ideas?
this is usualy a bad sim card..
usualy either a worn card.. or possibly an issue on the att side with your sim number
if you frequent any core att stores you might could get a free one..
I stopped bidding for it on eBay, cuz I don't feel like taking the risk.
It sold for $127.50
Sounds silly, i know, but i had the same a while ago, found the sim goes in and locks shut back to front the contact part going in last, just maybe this simple
I had a similar problem with my new Tytn II. Only 3 days old and after I took out and reinserted SIM, I got the "No SIM" message, same problem with another SIM card as well.
Just as I was ready to return the device, after a final test with my SIM card, it decided to work. I have not taken out the SIM since and this problem hasn't shown up.
There have been a couple of threads on this problem.
It would seem that the design of the SIM connector is not all that it should be.
My main SIM sometimes wouldn't connect and another couple of SIMs would not connect at all.
A piece of paper, folded if necessary, inserted between the SIM card and the metal clip to increase the contact pressure has completely fixed the problem on mine, but apparently it has not worked for everyone.
Hi
ive got a problem whereby my phone stops recognising my simcard and i can't
get it to recognise it unlless i hard reset
the hard reset works for about 3-4 hours and then it stops recognising it.
( during the 3-4 hours i don't move the phone just so it HOPEFULLY proves it isn't hardware.
Any Ideas
thanks ben
( it is on 02 and i have tryed other 02 cards and an orrange card )
I know this has been covered a few times and can be found easily using the search...
Most liklely it is hardware, as the ROM does not really ever affect that. One thing to try is when you open the sim card door, there is a metal bar that goes over the card and holds it in place. Remove the card and press down on the tab untill it touches the golden tabs below it. Then put the card in. This should put pressure on the card and keep it connected. If that does not work, you may need to replaced the sim card reader
Hardware definitely. Had the same problem and luuckily had extra parts. Swapped it out and works like a charm now.

Swapped what out ?
The SIM card reader ?
Where would I get one ?
Who would install it ?
I have this issue and I want to go back to my TyTN II.
Thanks.
I wouldn't count too much on the hardware. When i got my Kaiser yesterday (slightly used) it recognised every simcard i had in store, except my own, which i wanted to use. Simcard in different phone (a soaked Herald, but somehow sometimes working) told me the sim was fine. So i transferred my contract to a out-of-the-box simcard from KPN-NL, and that one somehow worked. I didn't really bother to have another thought about it, but is it a known hardware issue then?
hi guys.
i have big problem with my kaiser sim card. probaly the sim card slot cant read the sims. in the past 2 days i can fix this problem. i change rom, radio, hard reset and tried 2 different sims without success.
the phone works fine expect the sim.
when i boot in to wm it ask me to insert sim card. sim card is insert right. i own the phone 2 years.
what is my next step?
thanks
It wounds like your ribbon cable is wearing out.. That is was the first sign on my sons Tilt....
Is there a way of replacing that ribbon? I guess mine is starting to wear out too!!
i´m taking same problem, my Kaiser is shuting my sim card each month aproximately, I clonned the sim five times, I reflashed from the original rom to another with the hope to solve it but problem stills there, my kaiser ****s to my sim in a month or two...
Any solution?
Now I make bigger my problem, I cracked the touch digitizer and I must to disassemble it, may be the problem is soled when i clean parts inside, I work as industrial Electrician and dust is floating around in my work
I've flipped through other SIM card error threads here on the HD7 forum and found not many had a good turn out.
I dropped my HD7 in water and luckily this was the only "damage" it suffered. But it is beyond me how the problems still persists, I've replaced nearly EVERYTHING inside the damn phone and I STILL have the error.
SIM/SD card tray, Main logic board, motherboard, you name it I've gotten a replacement for it and the POS is still reading SIM card error. Attempted different SIM cards from friends and nothing.
I think the ONLY strike of a light I ever had was when I replace the SIM/SD card tray and I actually had bars for a little bit, and then just dorpped to the error again and bars never came back no matter how many times I restarted the phone.
The only thing Im suspecting now is the cellular antennas in the back housing just not making good contact/sending out any signals. I tried making the contact better by adding a bit of solder to the contacts but no avail. Got a new housing coming in.
Wondering if anyone had any othe ideas or has any suggestions
