Kaiser not reading sim card?

[baalpeteor]

It all started slowly... it would drop my phone signal (and say no sim card) when i would slide it out, and now it doesnt read sim card at all (regardless of if I reboot and its closed or slid out). Anyone know what part might have went bad specifically? (the sim reader or a cable?)

what have you done to fix the problem? This is a very old and covered topic.

it happened to me too, i resolved the situation by inserting a piece of paper on the top of simcard, to make pressure because with time kaiser loses pressure needed to read the card...

Exact same problem i got right now. Signal got weaker and weaker, then it use to just be the signal gets lost when i slid out keyboard, so i was stuck with onscreen keyboard for a while. And now, just yesterday, my tilt wont read the sim at all. I get the "Missing Sim" message. I rebooted, hard reset, tried the spacer of top of the sim card, lifted contacts in sim holder... no help.

I think ive only dropped the phone once semi-hard in the 1 and a half years ive owned it, and that was a while back.

Not sure if i should replace some parts (sim card holder, ribbon cables, etc. not sure what the problem is yet) or just use the money to get a tilt2. haha.

Good luck with yours. I suspect its the sim card holder on mine.

heres a disassemble guide if youd like to check out your phone yourself:
