Xperia Z simcard reader dead, any other options? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey!
Unfortunately my Xperia Z simcard reader has been damaged ( thanks to my cousin ... ) and i'm unable to read any simcards with my xperia Z anymore. I've already replaced the simcard slot ( the one welded on the motherboard ) and it still didnt work.
So my question is,
is there any way to let my phone read my simcard?
I've heard there are bluetooth adapters which read the simcard and let your phone "read" it too?
any ideas how to let my phone read my sim? or is it also possible to place the simcard directly on the soldering points ( or whatever they are called ) on the motherboard?

There is no point of repairing , since There is a high chance that the motherboard are damaged. Just the moherboard alone cost £199-250 + delivery+ repair. You might be able to buy new phone for that price.
One thing is your phone network locked because then i would advice you to get new sim for you operator and check, Please reflash you phone, try maybe your phone is just "confused " reflashing would be way to start

Kaiser No Service

Hi i have problem witch Kaiser showing No Service
someone had such problem , and has some solution maybe
sorry for my English
Regards
first thing would be to check if your sim card isn't bad or have been disconnected from your service, so either call your service provider or put your sim card in another device and see if it gets service.

Hi im done all this steps before im ask for help thenks for you answer any another solution Regards
check your radio and see if it is compatible with your rom. You can figure that out by looking at the ultimate radio thread which is a sticky in the Kaiser Rom Development forum.
ALso have you used any external antennas that plug into next to the camera?
One time i stuck a copper wire on mine to use it as an antenna and when i took it out i could never get service unless it was plugged in so i think it damaged the antenna on the device.

Where to get Xperia fix?

I messed up my xperia. I was trying a micro-sim card on to transfer some contacts and it got stuck. I kind of pulled the sim hard and i guess some of the pins that read the sim card bend. I know big mistake but i needed to transfer contacts that moment and i was away from a computer.
Now when i put a sim card it doesnt detected. It says no sim.
I called Sony Ericsson and they want to charge me 187 plus shipping both ways for any repair needed. I think thats too expensive and i was wondering if anybody here knows a reputable place where i could send it to get it fix.
Thanks for any help in advance.

X8 SIM-Card Problem

Hi Everyone,
I have one big problem, when I insert my PlusGSM sim-card my X8 don't recognise it, but when I insert PLAY or T-Mobile sim they both are recognised and connecting to network. PlusGSM sim is working when I insert it to my SE C902, how can it be?
I will add, card was working hour ago, but stopped working after my X8 drop and battery fall out from phone -_-
I'm using nAa-kernel v06b, and MiniCM7-2.1.5.
Please for fast response, because I haven't access to my contacts
ouch! maybe u burn your sim card

As a temporary solution, you should insert your SIM in another phone to backup your contacts, at least to know if your sim is still works.
Edit: Oh, this's a old thread!
@bogysha
probably no, because it works on other phone.
Just verify if all the "Sim connecting pins" are okay and there isn't any damaged. Because every sim has the Chip in different positions (for me it is) and some doesn't fill all the pins, i think.

not that old xD

Go via Warranty.
Well same happened to me at first I though was the sim reader but it was the rom that suddenly stop reading the sim and I don't know why. The solution was to flash a different rom and now I am with kitslim. To check the sim reader I used the app "sim card by gsmdev" such app allows to read the sim information like contacts imei etc so if that app reads that info means that the sim reader is OK and you need to flash a different rom or the same. Hope this help

check "network mode" in "mobile network settings" .....

Check if your imei is intact, perhaps you could flash an FTF file which will replace the OS so back everything up first.
Make sure you are inserting the sim correctly (i know you probably are but it's worth checking) ones the sims in the phone it should reboot, could be that the contacts which hold the sim aren't raised enough, don't bother fixing them just take it back if that's the case, if the sim has been inserted incorrectly then theres a chance that the contacts may be bent and if that's the case then your warranty will be void, but in all fairness it sounds like a dodgy phone rather than any of the above.
I'd still do the FTF flash anyway, it's probably the best shot you've got, oh and i've noticed that some peoples phones will read sims and others won't so the fact that it works in yours and not hers although weird, isn't conclusive. Try another sim too.

My p30 pro VOG-L04 doesn't detect the sim car

Hi, fisrt of all I'm sorry if this is not the right site for this thread, I have a P30 pro VOG-L04 that doesn't detect any sim card, I hope someone can help me to solve this issue, I just bought the phone, the person that sell me the phone already told me from that issue, I already checked the sim board and eveything looks good, thank's in advance.
If the device isn't SIM locked then I suggest you check wether the SIM card is properly touching the gold part on the board. You can add some tape to the top of the SIM to make it bulkier. Good luck
Hi, thanks for the help, I already change the sim reader, but nothing happened, a friend of mine tell me that maybe the modem gone wrong, and that's why the phone don't detect the sim any idea how to repair the modem??
Hi friends, sorry to ask but, did someone have the p30 pro schematics? Or the repair manual, I want to see the movil network diagram, maybe I can repair my phone
i know im late but i had this problem for two days after coming back from vacation from a humid place. it seems that the sim board needed reconnecting. what i did (lil technical background) is i opened the back with a heat gun and unscrewed the bottom right part on the phone where the sim tray is and disconnected and reconnected all the wiring on that section. Shame i didnt do this before i formatted the phone before but i hope this helps someone else coz now everything is working as usual. (nothing needs to be removed, just the connections need to be disconnected and reconnected)
