SIM card missing or invalid in Lumia 1020 - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

A few times I encountered the problem ..SIM missing or invalid card ..
I found a way to stick tape on the sim tray but worked only 1 data..a second time did the same but with all the duct tape ..
What would solve the problem? I understand that the problem would be the operating system ..

WIZARD: Invalid or missing SIM card

Could anyone help me?
If I switch on my MDA Vario it rejects my sim ... Invalid or missing sim appears on my screen.
I tried many sims, i cleaned contact in the phone, placed paper below the battery, but it didn´t work.
This error appeared when deinstal program Live PVR 2.7.the program always asked for approvement of the consonant before it asked for pin no.may there be any connection btw the error and this?
I tried to install ROM and Radio again, but it didnt help at all. Do you have any suggestions of how to repair it or if you have simillar experience could you please write me what to do ...
have you tried a hard reset?
if all else fails, sell the phone to me for $3

umm your service is disconnected?????
no,its not reading the card slot at all
This may be a stupid question- is the SIM card in the proper way? When did this start? What changed? Did you drop the phone?

When I first bought my Tilt used, I had the same problem. I had to stick a tiny part of a post-it to the back of my SIM and shove it in there. It's like my SIM wasn't thick enough.
The best way - to try with another SIM (maybe your friends have a mobile-phone )
Sometimes the old SIMs don't want to work with modern devices....
well heres my 2 cents as i just fixed it, my issue at first i thought it was the sim slot (replaced...) then found out the ribbon was damaged a crack occured, after another week of waiting for a package (today) i replaced it and now its running fine
Same here
My Sim was no longer available.
Kaiser had "sim card is missing", but the sim was in there.
I disassebled it and found that the main flex cable was damaged.
Now I'm waiting for replacement.
So, When the phone shows up "sim missing" it's an flex cable matter not the sim card flex or the sim card unit.
same problem here
I'm having the same problem here. thought that it was the flex cable of the sim, but when I disassambled the Kaiser I found out that the main cable was slightly scrached from a corner, and the sim's cable was there pluged well... I'm trying to fix it..gonna post the result for "sim card failure"...

Sim missing ? Any ideas

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?

No sim card problem.

Hello to all,
before u start saying to search the forum, i did. But havent find solution for my problem so i opened a new thread.
So the problem is that my tytn register some sim cards but some dont, its like a random thing. My old sim card and new one works, now i tried with new sim card but from a nother network, and it says no sim, i try with my old sim from the same network and it works. I tested with about 10 random sim cards and 6 out of 10 works, no matter how old they are and from what network they are. I flashed my phone, tried new roms, cleaned sim card slot, but nothing worked.
If u can help me, i will be verry grateful
P.S: Sorry for my bad english
out of the 10 sims, 6 work...correct? lets call the sims that work numbers "1 through 6" and lets call the sims that don't work numbers "7 through 10".
i would say it is a hardware problem IF AND ONLY IF even one of "1 through 6" STOP working or if even one of "7 through 10" START working.
in other words, it is NOT a hardware problem if "1 through 6" work consistently and "7 through 10" fail consistently.
if you determine that it is a hardware problem, then try inserting a piece of paper behind the sim for an extra tight connection or search for bad/loose "main flex cable" and/or "sim assembly".
if you determine that it is not a hardware problem, search about possible known incompatibilities of the kaiser with certain networks' sim cards.
Thanks for advice...i fixed the problem by bending the metal that holds sim card.
But i still dont get it how that fixed things cause sim cards one that worked they worked every time and othet way around with non working sim cards...but ok... now they all work...
nice to hear your problem is solved!
i believe the sim cards that didn't work were probably just "thinner" than the ones that worked. so bending the metal pushes the thin sim cards tighter against the connectors. inserting a piece of paper behind the sim card has the same effect, and it is one of the first suggestions you will read about in most threads about sim card problems.
anyway, congratulations, and its nice to see that you updated your thread with information that helps "close" the issue...perhaps you can change the title of this thread to indicate that the issue was "SOLVED" so that future readers can benefit from it.
