@mod: sorry i posted in the wrong forum, please move to General, thanks

Hey everybody,
i just dropped my phone from about 30 cm on concrete floor.
everything seemed to be allright, only after i turned off the cellular radio in the Comm Manager and turned it on again shortly after, my phone was reporting that i have not inserted a Sim card....

After several soft resets, and trying my sim in other phones, i suppose a cable/connector in the phone got loosened by the fall.

I do not have access to HTC repair services or any other repair options, but i think i can manage to fix it myself as long it is no hardware damage.
IF anybody knows how to( instructions or likely), i would be happy to hear it..
Also ive seen the "how to replace LCD/ dismantle device" instructions but they seem to involve dissembling the whole phone into parts.

Thanks guys

yea dude your gonna have to take your phone apart . . .like you said you can follow the instruction for LCD replacement guide (LINK ATTACHED BELOW), but your gonna need some tools. taking the phone apart is not hard but you gotta have patience and atleast need like 1 - 2 hours of time ...

you need TORX T6 SCREWDRIVER and TORX T4 SCREWDRIVER ...

Slide out keyboard. Shake gently if the door to the sim opens up it is not locked. Push the lock in the direction of arrow with door closed. It is the plastic bar next to the door. You may want to check if the sim is all the way inserted as well. Phone will act like the sim is bad with both of the above conditions.
