Hi guys. I recently bought an LG G6. When I first got it I was taking out the sim card tray to put in the sim, the sd card part of the tray ended up breaking off and it is now stuck in the phone, I could still use the sim card so Ive been using it like that for a week. But then I had to take the sim card out of the phone and when I did that the sim card part broke off too and got stuck in the phone. I had a thought to just open up the phone and remove the stuck parts. Have any of you guys done this before?

Google G6 disassembly and you should get step by step how tos
I watched a disassembly and it looks like you would need to do a complete disassembly, not just take the back off. I would contact LG to see if they would cover it under warranty.

Hi, I have a SIM CARD TRAY broken and I do't have signal. It said "No SIM Card installed". Only "Emergency call" banner.
You can share a picture of your SIM TRAY of your broken piece to compare it with mine.
Thanks.

Hi dear,
I just bought my Omnia 7 last Wed(actually, made a payment 2 weeks ago but just arrived) and I'm so pleased to use it as I used to use Samsung Focus(but it has problem on a sim slot).
However, there was one problem in my device since the first day. It's actually my fault and the device is working really well, but my sim(I used to use iPhone so my sim is micro size) is stuck in the sim slot.
I thought the sim slot was same as the one in Focus but it wasn't. Thus, I even can't see where it is in the Sim slot but fortunately, it's working well.
Anyone has the same problem as me??
Or anyone can help me out?
i think it is easily sorted but you have to open up the device.
follow the instructions in this thread

Thank you so much!
I will follow the instruction then!

I had to break off metal housing! to get to the contacts to try bend them back up, I managed to get it working again but I was shi....g myself got a new standard size sim and it's ok.
Really guys don't go for the adapter you will be sorry!
Hi all, I have strange problem with my S4 GT I9505. I read various forums and searched but couldn't find a similar case to this strange problem. I am quite new to android and hope that maybe somebody of you would be able to help me or point me in the right direction to solve the issue below.
Issue
I had the phone unlocked from my provider O2 in UK and moved outside of Europe. My S4 accepted the new SIM card for the first 2 to 3 month. At this time my S4 was unrooted. Out of the blue it started with no sim card error, please reboot when using the new Sim Card.
Here is a list of all changes I done but it didn't help
- unrooted: Factory reset Kitkat, updated to Lollipop
- Rooted the phone as above didn't help, installed various custom ROMS, stock Lollipop, Google play edition. After I flashed the ROM I have for a short time network with the new SIM card but then it starts again with the No Sim Card Error. However, I have no problem with my original O2 SIM card.
- Changed SIM card, checked my new SIM card with other phones and it worked, so it not a fault on the SIM card
- Checked with my provider O2 in UK: phone is unlocked,
- Tried to open Service Menu but none of the codes worked, went to EFS folder/carrier/hidden menu and changed OFF to ON, still could open Service Menu to check if the phone was still blocked etc.
Any guidance how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Frank
Hardware failure. Replace the sim slot. No messing with software is going to fix that.

Thanks, I will try this next, hopefully this will fit it!
No reason it shouldn't, and it's arguably the easiest hardware fix you can do since the SIM tray isn't soldered to the mainboard. Just keep in mind the following: when you purchase a replacement tray, don't throw out the old one until you peel the foam pad off the top of the connector and attach it to the new tray. That pad prevents the connector from popping off the socket it sits in.

I changed the SIM/SD card holder today, however, I am afraid it didn't take long for the no sim card error to return. Only difference today, it connects to the mobile network again after reboot.
The strange thing is, I don't get the SIM card error when inserting the original 02 Sim card, only when inserting a none 02 card (phone is unlocked)
Would this mean that the motherboard is defect?
Most likely, yes.
Hi everyone,
Yesterday my phone stoped to recognise the sim-card.
At first i got a message with sim-card problem and the phone need to be restarted.
After that sim worked a day and now i cant use any sim in this phone. I tried it with 4 cards.
I've tried new roms , and paper on sim-card reader. Still "no sim card"!
Is it possible to repair it or is it Motherboard problem?
Thanks.
Have it checked in a authorised Samsung Service Centre mate. I had that problem twice in one day few days back, but since then its running fine! I was really scared, thought I would have to visit SC, but it went away on its own! I don't think Motherboard needs to be changed, only the SIM slot if its damaged.

Thanks for your answer. My phone doesn't recognise any card now. Since 2 days. I don't think it can go away on its own
Got the same problem. Probably your sim card slot got some loose like mine. I put a little piece of paper into it on the back of sim card. It caused that my sim card was inserted tighter into slot and it is working again.
It occured that it was the sim card problem. I had it again but it was strange because it worked on my sony xperia sp. But my note 4 didnt see it. I checked other sim card and it work flawless

Facing the problem of no service and no sim card detected on my v20 after a reboot or randomly ,i ve tried every thing and found out that the problem is coming from the sim card reader ,there is a space left between the sim card and the reader causing the problem ,the fix is to full the space with a small paper or something to force the sim card into the reader
I know this is a necro post, but I wanted to confirm that this DOES indeed work. I got a second hand V20 from eBay today and couldn't get the thing to recognize the SIM Verizon was giving me at all. Gotta go back tomorrow to have them activate it now that I know this trick works on this phone!!

I ended up sending the phone back for exchange, after a small 1" drop the SIM was dislodged and the adapter broke and got a new one which didn't have the issue, so I unfortunately don't have any pictures. The best way however to place it is to ensure that it is directly over the SIM card and goes into the slot with your SIM, it should be providing some pressure on the back of the SIM to push it into the slot firmly, but not bulge the MicroSD adapter's metal too much, if you've done that, a fall may just break your SIM reader.
My fiancée s8 plus her SIM card got stuck in side the window card hole she used a pin to get it out in the process she tells me her SIM card tray got bent and the SIM card won’t read at all.
She took it to sprint they said it’s broken the unit and they did zero trouble shooting.
Before I order her a new SIM card tray to see if it works what can be done ?
Is the SIM card tray the problem ?

I've had all kinds of issues with the Sim tray on this device. I've replace mine several times. If it's needed up there's a chance. But no one can say yes or no without physically trying what your doing.
