Sim Card Reader Replacement DIY?

[nappent]

My wife dropped her Captivate in some water. After 24 hours in rice everything works except the Sim Card reader. I ordered a new sim card reader to install but I was wondering if anyone has a guide or suggestions during the install. Anything that would help would be great. Hopefully this wonder be as hard as replacing a broken screen on a Moto Backflip.

No idea about that, but if you want to "fix" water damage there is this information available.

I'm not advocating fraud, but lets say your sd slot just stopped working one day without any water contact. In that case, the logical thing to do is walk into at&t and raise hell.

I got this fixed. I posted a DIY on my blog at http://samsung-captivate.weebly.com/1/post/2011/09/sim-card-reader-fix.html
