Ok.... I have had my Tilt for a year & 1/2... My (then) 14 y/o son became very envious of my phone... We are not a "rich" family and my son saved up for months and finally could afford the phone last year... He bought it 100% on his own, as well as pays his own prepaid AT&T Go minuites for it....

About 6 months after he got it, we got the typical USB problems... We worked around them by syncing via Bluetooth, and buyign spare batteries as well as a stand alone battery charger.. Everything worked great until this week... Tuesday night, it said the Sim was not there... I tried the placing tape on the back of it, and that didn;t seem to help... tried a few other things I read, nothing seemed to help except when we first booted up the phone with it the keyboard slid out... As long as we didnt; close it, it would work (Atleast for TXTing)... But even that was sketchy at best... since then that stopped working completley, and as of lastnight the touchscreen died... Any suggestions at all? Please don't tell me to go search for answers on google... I have already looked.. If there is no hope, please send cash offers if you are intersted in buying it... Thanks in advance for your help....

You can try to tighten all the screws around the sim card slot and make sure that nothing is obstructing the door from locking tight.

Try a hard reset to reset all the software. I would say to try to re-install the rom, but you say the usb port is bad. Other than that, it is warrantied for a year, call the store or HTC and see if there is anything that they can do for you. :(

I will try that... but I am thinking maybe it is the ribbion that connects the screen to the motherboard seeing as everything on that part id the problem (touch screen, sim card, screen flickering now).. it is defintley out of warranty as well
