A few days ago I took out a nano sim from another phone and used a sim adapter to put it into my OGP.
The sim adapter was difficult to get to eject out of the sim card holder when I was finished. Then, the sim card reader would no longer recognize any sim.
I ordered a replacement on Ebay, bc I'm sure that its the sim card holder that somehow got damaged although I was never rough with it.
But when I carefully disassembled the phone and put the new sim card reader in, not only does it still not recognize the sim card, but also the external sd card is not showing.
Any thoughts?

Are there any other devices like this?
-portable microUSB charger
-keychain clip
-microSD card reader
That device is not a real micro SD card reader. It was a editing fail very commonly found on Amazon and other sites. The editor thinks that the USB port is a SD card reader, and it's pretty funny.
I'm feeling kinda stupid i was removing my micro sd card and sim card first thing this morning and in my haste i managed to put the micro sd card in the sim slot and now its stuck.
I would like to avoid taking it apart if possible so i dont void the warranty the only other option i can think of is to try and fish it out with something any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Your not the first person on here to do it Try tweezers

Try using a pin or needle, work each side until it loosens, working upside down so it'll just drop when loose.
Btw... Doh!
Thanks for the replies I managed to get the micro sd card out with a needle I will definitely be more careful in future those slots are a little bit close for comfort.
And just for anyone else reading this, always remember to turn a device off before fiddling with slots & ports.
I got a nice shock off my wife's Galaxy S when i was fiddling with her faulty USB slot with a metal pin!
Hey Guys
My sim card reader was damaged this week when one of pins were bent and broke off. I have been searching online an have not been able to find replacements for my sim card reader. Does anyone know of any places which supply replacements or if the xperia z sim card reader would be compatible?
Hello Guys,
So what happened was, i bought a sim card adapter so that i could use a one sim in my P601 tablet and my phone. When i received my adapter, i wanted to see if it fits in the Sim Card slot, it then got stuck. I eventually had to pull it out, and so small little copper pins came along with it. I need to replace the Sim / SD Card unit, see attached.
Any help where i can get this?
Just wondering, is there any possible way to take the sim card holder out of the xperia play r800i? I have taken out the back housing with a t5 torx screw driver and now I can't take out the sim card holder or even the micro sd card holder.
The reason for this is that my phone isn't recognizing any sim card I put in it. I am 100% sure this is a hardware problem as half a pin came out of my sim card holder when I forced out a stuck sim adapter.
I can see xperia play sim card holders on eBay so there must be a way to take the previous one out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
