Unhappy Sim Card Connector !

Please Login to Remove!

I bought a blckberry 9900 and after one week I had a problem that make me using my device with Wi-Fi only.

The case started when I inserted my micro sim card with its holder inside the holder for sim card, the sim slip and hang. Becaude i can not take off the sim normally, I force it and that damage the connecter (teeth inside the sim card holder in my device) !! As a result, my BB does not read any sim card niether a micro nor a normal one.

I went for many maintainance shops but they told my that this is a new device and they do not have the same part for replacing it !

Please, help me with a link for this one so I can buy it online or . If you can help me with some stores in Saudi Arabia

If you pull the microsim out without getting the adaptor all the way out, the end of the plastic gets stuck behind the metal endings. The trick is to slide the microsim back in and pull it out again as a single piece.
Any other possible combination would result in damaging the endings.



OP: Any insurance/cover/warranty? If you got no cover visit a reputable repair shop in your area, the repair is pretty simple but nothing you can do at home with a pair of pliers.

the warranty does not cover physical damage, and sim card tray holder for 9900 is still not available so many shops offered me to break the yellow plastic cover of sim card holder and to weld the pins so may be read a sim card but I refused since it will distort the device.
