I just bought one of these for my wife. I just got it unlocked. She will be going from a Nexus 5 to the tmobile t839. I have the proper sim adapter as her nexus 5 is a smaller sim card.
In haste I put the adapter in the sidekick without the sim card as a "placeholder" while unlocking the sidekick.
When time came, again in haste I pulled the adapter out and damaged the golden connecting pins. Actually ripped one of them out so there is no contact on at least one pin. The phone now does not recognize any sim card.
I have been repairing phone boards for a few years now and have stocked up on all necessary tools to replace these tiny board components, so I would like to replace this sim card slot, but for the life of me cannot track down the replacement sim slot.
Can anyone guide me to a replacement sim card slot?
