I think i broke my Polaris, HELP! sim not detected!

[niabi]

Hello, my screen was acting wierd, and it had some sort of Humidity in the digitizer, so I decided to open it up, see if maybe I could "dry" it or something.

well I open it up, very carefully, everything whent perfect, I could not do anything to the digitizer, so I put it all back together, and it worked perfectly, except that I forgot to connect the jog wheel, so I open it up again, again very carefully, and everything whent ok, or so it seemed, now my polaris can't detect the sim card, no matter what I do, I open it up again to see if the cable was lose or anything and the same deal... nothing fixed it...

did I broke my polaris? maybe its just the sim holder? does anyone know where I could get a replacement sim holder with the ribbon cable?

or any other ideas, I triple checked that everything was connected, and that the ribbon cables were all good...please help!!!

maybe your sim card burned... did you try with another sim?

[niabi]

unfortunately for me... no, the SIM card is working fine on my other phone :( and I also tried 2 different SIMs

any pointers on where can I get spare parts ?

[Bobby.pike]

Could it still be wet? Have you let it dry out?

[niabi]

it was never wet, so i don't think thats the problem..its very wierd :(

but still looking for spare parts... if anyone knows... :(

[niabi]

Well i guess My Polaris is done for :( No Sim detected, so if anyone need a polaris for spare parts, let me know, the only thing wrong with it is that it does not detect the Sim Card.... make me an offer :)

i have had that on mine as well, it wouldnt detect my simcard but i found out that by installing it better it made it work. since you havent touched anything, i cant believe you burned a controller or you snapped something. look at it better

I think I know the solution. As least I can reproduce the problem with few my SIM cards. Namely, after inserting the SIM card in Polaris holder, as a final move, one should gently PUSH IT DOWN until you will feel a slight click. That's it!
Actually, the word "PUSH" is even written at the holder, but I thought it is only for a side push.
Regards and good luck!

Well I tried several times in diferent ways, with no luck, so I finally decided to order that sim holder, hopefully that will solve the problema... now I will have to wait 3-5 weeks and I will have my phone back (fingers crossed!) thanks leonidas333 for the link and thanks everyone else for their tips :)
