Z10 no longer detects SIM card

I recently had to re-install my OS due to my Z10 freezing. Since I have done this it no longer detects the SIM card. I have tried other cards with the same results. I have done multiple security wipes and have even tried different OS versions (I am currently running 10.2.0.1157). All the other features of the phone work fine. Wifi and bluetooth are not affected. Just the SIM card reader. I purchased this directly from Blackberry through a friend of mine who works there. He has not heard of this happening before. Has anyone experienced this and if so how did they work around it?
Thanks

Hi,
Well, i did but it was my fault when i inserted the sim in a wrong way. Why dont you try getting a new sim and it might solve your problem & if that dosent - take your device to the service center as it might be a problem with the sim card holder & pins.

  • BlackBerry Z10 Second can't detect Sim card

    Hi All
    I just bought a Blackberry Z10, secondhand from people I met from Internet
    The Blackberry is still kinda new, used only for a month. And I got it pretty much cheaper
    But the problem is, this Z10 can't detect sim card (yes the previous owner been telling about this before. She said its happened after she's upgrading the software)
    So, I bought it, and re-installed the software (10,2 - 10,3 - even back to 10,1) still not working.
    I'm trying to search the similar issues on Google, and found that it possibly because the simcard reader is broken
    I check the simcard reader, I'm not really sure, but yes, seems there one pins missing on there. I saw only 3 pins on my Z10 simcard reader. Haven't seen any other Z10. Would you mind to check your Z10? How many pins on there?
    And also, does the warranty will cover this issues if I claim it? I mean, it seems because human-error (previous owner might put the sim card not really carefully).
    If not, how much it cost to fix it and change the simcard reader part? Well think I'm not gonna gambling anymore to buy a cheap gadget in the hope I can't fix it by myself
    Thank you for help!

    Hi Aliarroughi
    Z10 I have a 3 sim card reader. there seems to be damage to your z10 sim card reader. try to correct the sim card reader price only $ 25

  • IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

    Guys I really need your advice please...
    I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
    By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
    Thanks in advance.
    ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

    But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
    The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS.  Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes.  You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
    Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it.  Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer reads sim card & now I can't update my iTunes...help?

    Hey Guys,
    So, my iPhone 3GS recently got sprite spilt on it and because of that it will no longer read the sim card...so basically it's
    a glorified iPod Touch at this point (meaning I can do everything on it but make phone calls or text). Before it got ruined, I purchased some music ($30 worth) on it and now when I tried to transfer my purcahses to my iTunes account on my MBA it keeps telling me that I have to put the sim card in and it won't let me sync it. When I log onto my iTunes account it shows that I purchased the songs under the Purchased tab and tells me the serial number for my receipt, but I have no way of getting my actual music onto my computer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'd hate for all my music...and money to go to waste, thanks! 
    - Ms. Hylton

    You should be able to go to "store" on iTunes and select check for available downloads. If you connect the phone and then right-click on it, it asks for the SIM before it will transfer purchases? That seems odd.

  • Iphone 3GS cannot detect SIM card

    Hi My iphone 3GS cannot detect the SIM card.
    The phone shows full bar for service provider but 3G unable. It cannot receive incoming calls and make outgoing calls.

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • Ipad Air isnt detecting Sim Card

    7/1/14
    Yesterday my Ipad Air was detecting the sim card and today I turned it on and on the lock screen it said "Sim Card not installed" even though there is a Sim Card inside it
    How do I make it so it detects the sim card?

    On the top left hand corner of the ipad it still says "No Sim''

  • HELP!!!  iPhone randomly reset and now it won't detect SIM card?

    Ok so here's what I was doing when this all happened.
    I had called the Linksys support for a new router I just bought that wasn't working right. After waiting about 8 mins I was connected to a gentlmen in India, we worked on my problem for about 10mins or so and then all of sudden my phone just reset, or at least went to the apple logo and just sat there.
    then after 30 seconds it started ringing (before it fully restarted) and it was the tech gentlemen call me back. So I slide the thing to answer and the screen froze with the slider on the right but not unlocked but I could see the time and my back ground, just no buttons and I could still hear him and talk to him.
    After we fix my problem with the router he hung up, but my phone was still froze and then it started ringing (a friend had tried to call me before it reset while I was on the phone so I assume it was him again). I couldn't answer and it just kept ringing and ringing so I held the wake button and slide the red slider to shut it off.
    Left it off for 30 seconds or so then press and held it again to turn it on. Now it says restore need, connect to itunes!
    ok, so I did and after wait about 30sec to a minute after connecting it to itunes it comes up with this error:
    *"iTunes cannot activate your iPhone because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone."*
    What the heck?! I've had it randomly reset once before about a month and a half ago and which point I did have to restore, and it did and it worked fine after that.
    The SIM card IS in there, and I have no idea what my SIM PIN would be, nor do I see the option for it they speak of! And this happened about 9:30pm, well after any Apple or AT&T stores are closed! I even turned off the phone, took the SIM card out and put it back and it still did the same thing!
    What would cause this to randomly just mess-up like this? I loved this phone when I got it but now that this is the 2nd time this has happened and much worse I'm pretty ticked about it. And it's not like I hacked it or unlocked it or whatever that is even called, the only things I've put on my iphone are music, pictures, and programs I all got thru itunes!
    PLEASE HELP!

    Hi Guys,
    I'm writing this from the UK. Got an iPhone 3G bought a few weeks ago and activated (no jailbreak or other stuff)it. It worked fine but last night it gave the same error as originally reported in this thread.
    Went into the O2 store (this is the provider selling iPhones in the UK) and they told me is the SIM card. Got a new one but still the same...
    There is something going on here because I've seen lots of claims with the exact same description. Its almost like there is a bug in the software that gets activated on the 3rd of January.
    Will go tomorrow again and ask for a new phone.

  • DROID DNA unable to detect SIM card

    So, apparently this is a known issue at this point.  My phone didn't start doing this until about 2 months ago.  It started off just doing it every couple days, but it has increased to being 5+ times per day now.  Has anyone had success in getting this resolved through Verizon?  I've lost all confidence in the phone. 

    Call HTC and request a new SIM card tray.

    I'm not at all familiar with pulseaudio configuration. Does anyone know of a good way for me to resolve this issue? Have I even identified the correct issue?
    UPDATE:
    I was able to work around my problem for the moment by symlinking the configuration file to the location that pulseaudio was actually looking for it
    # mkdir -p /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA\ Intel
    # ln -s /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA\ Intel/HDA\ Intel.conf
    Although this does get my sound back, it is a hacky work-around and obviously not ideal. Anyone who knows a bit about pulse configuration, I welcome your input here

    Thank you so much for posting your solution!
    I was having the same problem. The funny part was it started happening (and not always) after KDE says that the Intel HDA device is "gone" and asking me to remove it from my configuration. Even by saying no it wouldn't work. Killing pulseaudio with
    pulseaudio -k
    would have everything fallback to Alsa but starting pulseaudio again wouldn't work.
    Rebooting right away doesn't take care of the issue either but after a while the problem would go away...
    Any inputs would be appreaciated!

  • 3GS no longer sees sim card after update to io5

    I tried everything and the problem is found on many forum. many people can not activate theiriPhone after installing the update.

  • SIM card didn't detect in Nokia Lumia 520

  • Blackberry ID and Changing Sim cards

    Hi
    I have a BB 9810 Torch which I use for my business which uses a Vodafone SIM with my business mobile number.
    I have also recently purchased a BB Z10 and have been trialing it using a temporary SIM card on a pay as you go data tarrif and temporary phone number (with MS Active Sync to sync email, contacts & calendar with MS Outlook).
    I have now decided to swap out my BB Torch and make the Z10 my main business phone.
    I have spent around 10 hours over the last 3 days transferring all my data and configuring the settings on the BB Z10 with all my email addresses, calendars & data files etc.
    I now just need to swap the telephone number from my BB Torch to my BB Z10. I have a second micro sim and Vodafone are ready to transfer my business mobile number to the new micro sim so I can put it into the BB Z10.
    However, I have just been told that there may be a problem with some form of link between the BB ID I use on the Z10 and the temporary SIm card I have been using - and that if I change SIM card I may no longer be able to access all the data I have loaded onto the device.
    Please can you confirm if changing SIM cards on the BB Z10 causes an issue with the Blackberry ID or if there are no problems changing SIM ? (As mentioned my ISP is Vodafone UK).
    Many thanks.... gp20018   

    Your BlackBerry ID is attached to your phone's PIN, not the SIM.  If you hold a phone with a certain SIM in it and you swap in another SIM, that might affect some elements associated with your carrier but it shouldn't touch anything BlackBerry-related.
    Once you put your SIM in your Z10 (which is not the phone currently associated with your BB ID) and you sign in to your BB ID on the Z, you'll be notified that it's a new PIN and you'll be asked if you want to move your BB ID to that phone.  A simple 'yes' and you're on your way.
    Cheers.

  • Windows no longer detecting my Audigy 4?(Non-P

    Hey all. I've had my Audigy 4 (non-Pro) installed and working super for about 50 days, but it started giving me a weird problem. Windows was no longer detecting the card! It was weird. DX Diag, programs like EVEREST... they all report no sound card whatsoever.
    Here are my PC specs:
    XP Home Edition
    Albatron K8X800 Pro
    S754 3200+ ClawHammer
    x 2 OCZ ELPE 52 MB(2-3-2-5)
    Visiontek XTASY X850XT PE
    x 80 GB SATA 2 Seagate, x 80 GB Maxtor
    Some other things to note:
    XP has been repaired. Went from Service Pack , updates, and all the way to Service Pack 2. The card requires XP w/SP2, yes, so I have that covered.
    Onboard audio is disabled through the bios. I have AC'97 integrated audio on this.
    My motherboard has fi've PCI slots - although I can only access 4 because my video card is in the way, and I have tried three of those and I get the same problem.
    I have tried it in other PCs in my house, double-checked each time - so it is not ESD as I originally believed. It works just fine on those PCs. It is being not located only on MY PC.
    So guys and gals, I do not know what to do... I am stumped. It's the weekend so I can't call Creative support until Monday. I don't want to request an RMA through my warranty because clearly it's just a problem with my PC. What should I do?!Message Edited by Celsius on -26-2005 07:36 PM

  • Can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod

    can i use my iphone without a sim card as a ipod?

    The SIM card is not required to use an iPhone as an iPod or to be used for anything else besides cell phone related services.
    For a no longer activated iPhone, the no longer activated SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated must be inserted in the iPhone in order to install an iOS update and for no other reason.

  • Selling IPhone 3GS...SIM card questions

    Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. I bought my mother an iPad and, for her needs, it really replaces her iphone 3gs so I bought her a simple cell phone to replace the iphone so she can just make calls from it. This simple cell phone came with a new sim card in it. I was planning on selling my mother's iphone 3gs on ebay with her old sim card in it. I erased all content and settings on this iphone so is it okay to sell the iphone with her old sim card in it or should I remove it? In the past, I have sold my old erased iphones with the sim card still in it and now I don't know if that was a mistake. Is there personal info on the sim card that somebody can access even after the iphone was erased? Thanks much.

    As when data is erased from a hard drive, if not securely erased the erased data can be recovered by a data recovery utility.
    The chances of someone going to that trouble with a SIM card and there isn't much they could do with it anyway if the data was obtained, why take the chance. It isn't your responsibility to include your no longer activated SIM card with a phone that you sell for someone who is interested in using the iPhone in a way that is not designed or intended. The iPhone is designed to be used as a phone - to be activated, and whoever purchases your iPhone will need to get a new SIM card from AT&T or use their existing AT&T SIM card from another phone if they are an existing AT&T subscriber in order to activate the iPhone with their line/number with AT&T as designed and intended.
    More than likely no harm done or no need to worry if you include your SIM card but why have any concern about it whatsoever?
    To each his/her own.
