HELP !! S4 will not turn on after sim tray swap - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello,
My S4 won't turn on after the sim tray swap. My Sim tray wasn't reading my SIM card, so I swapped it for a new one that I bought off of ebay, but it is not working. Not sure what is going on, but it will not turn on.
When i plug it it in, it has an empty battery, but the progress bar is not spinning.
HELP!

battery level low only when sim inserted

Hello everyone,
I've been having problems with my tmobile wing... (unlocked, with firmware came from t-mobile)
When I have no sim card inserted, the device boots up perfectly with 100% battery life.
However, with the sim card inserted, the wing keeps rebooting, and when it finally boots up, it complains about battery being low and shut down. I tried plugging it in while starting it up, and it shows 1% battery life. Removing the sim card brings the battery life back up to 100%
tried the same sim card in my nokia 5800 and no problems at all =\ so I wouldn't assume it to be a sim card problem....
That weird as crap there...but not unheard of. My Wizard did something similiar, and I found that hard reseting fixed my problem, that or just flashing a new ROM.

[Q] i337 Overheats then no SIM

Its a 16gb Att and ive had it for about a year and few months. This started happening a while back but never this bad. I would feel the phone get really warm in my pocket. The heat comes from right under the Sim/SD card tray. CPU? So eventually i get so hot it gives me the invalid SIM/ no sim message and rebooting my phone fixed it. About a month ago i read here that it might be a corrupted or damaged SD card. And what do u know, i pull out the card and no more heat/ sim issues. I thought it was my card 64 GB Class 10 Sandisk. But no, every SD card i pop in that isnt empty starts this meltdown. So i had to replace the charger port so i swaped out that board, same issue. Replaced the SD/Sim card tray same issue. I put my finger on the piece the card tray sit on before i stuck on the new one (ribbon cable connected with SD card in slot) and almost burned my finger. I flipped on Dev options and checked off "show cpu ussage" and i see that everytime i pop an SD card in, my CPU usage goes NUTZ, like its low at idle then in shoots to 100% and stayes there for a little, then back down, then back to 100%.
Anyone know whats going on? Or how to fix this? Im out of warranty and the only way i can use my phone is to remove the SD card. And 16GB for me isnt enough.

[Q] Verizon Note 3 took a dump or?

My phone worked perfectly with no issue since I have had it. Did a factory reset, it got to the point where you pick a new language and I shut it back down. Pulled SD card and Sim card, went to turn it back on and no go.
It wont turn on. I plug it in to charge and nothing, no charging light. Kinda pissed..
Anyone have any ideas?

[Q]

I'm Good I'm new here Junior What happens is that last week my s5 so immersed (submerged only what avia 1 time before but everything perfect) q what happened is that the cameras began to fog The dry with a heater and put it to charge and restart just not going to "Galaxy s5" you remove the battery and turned on and if ignited but only this time he left me a message saying No sim card insert sim card ... my sim with another probe and cell probe and anything other sim with my phone and not the leia ... please help me ... Thanks.

No SIM detected, and sometimes reports 0% battery when fully charged.

Hi.
This is a friend's stock P8 Lite ALE-L21.
He asked me to look at it because it had stopped recognicing the SIM card. He had taken it to a repair shop, and they told him the battery was bad, and replaced it. But after opening... i'm not sure they replaced it, it looks "too stock".
In any case, that didnt solve the problem.
I took the phone apart, cleaned everything with small brushes and contactt cleaner, and inserted my phone's SIM card because he was using his on another phone for the moment. IT WORKED! I could make a call from it and connect to the LTE network.
So i remove the SIM card and give the phone to him. Next day he says that he's put his card on the phone and it wont take it. I take the phone again, try with mine, and no luck.
I have taken it apart again and checked with a multi-meter that every pin on the SIM card tray has a connection with the mainboard, and that all pins are positioned well. I dont think the slot is the problem.
A weird thing happens, also. The phone sommetimes reports 0% battery when you turn it on, even if you just charged it. Just now, it was at 50% battery, i rebooted it, and it reported "battery depleted, the phone will turn off in 30 seoconds". And then i booted again and it reported 12%.
Are this symptoms familiar to someone? Is the board toasted?
