I tried to replace the broken screen by myself. However, after assembling them back, I got no signal for sim card.
It can read information from sim card, but no signal to make phone call or access to the Internet.
Did I break something, and is it easy to repair?
Thanks a lot.

Has the ! where the service bars are usually at. Does anyone know what could have caused this?
Have you tried taking the sim card out and putting it back on and making sure the sim is secured instead of moving around?
Bought a used uni from someone here and am trying to get it fixed (no gsm, wifi doesn't work, but otherwise seems fairly stable) I have no intent to use as a phone, just a connected pda around the house. I know I can always buy an sd wifi card, but that's no fun and doesn't teach me anything. I've got it all in pieces here and am hosing it down with contact cleaner, and I have an extremely basic question:
Do I have to have a sim card to use wifi?
Thanks!
No you don't need a sim card for that. I have a second mda pro at home and i don't have a sim card in it but i can still use the internet. So my answer is no.
I recently damaged and then repaired my G2's screen. Since repairing and reassembling the phone my data has not been working, although I can make calls, receive texts and use wifi just fine. Is there a specific component which could have been damaged or perhaps not locked back in properly?
I've already went to my service provider, Wind Canada, to replace the sim card, that didn't fix the problem either. Any help would be appreciated! Not having data defeats the purpose of having a smartphone.
Hi!
After a friend of mine dropped my Atrix, I'm having severe troubles getting it to run properly again. Main issue is that the SIM is not being recognized any more - I'm not prompted to enter a PIN, can make "Emergency Calls Only", and if I try to connecto to a provider manually, it tells me my SIM does not support it. The Antenna works fine, however, and the SIM works in another phone; also, a friend's SIM wouldn't work in mine.
There is very little external damage to the phone, and the drop was just about 1m onto stone, so I'm hesitant to believe the SIM connector broke. Is there any way I can be sure, i.e. would the pins on the connector have to have a certain voltage to them I could measure or similar?
Unfortunately, the phone has no warranty, as it was a pre-release gift from a Moto employee, so I can't just take it to a store and have it checked for free. (If any German can tell me: Is this expensive at all?)
Thanks for any advice!

Most likely the SIM is just not seating properly. Can you insert the SIM and keep pressure on it so it maintains contact while you power up? Your SIM should be fairly tight when inserted, and not move. Could be a contact problem now after dropping. The Atrix did have an issue with SIMS at release but I think this was more people not inserting the SIM correctly than an actual phone problem.
Nope, nothing. Still no service.
Sounds like the connector may have broken or come loose then.
And there is nothing I can do to check if this is the case or not?
Can't find anything. The following may help if you decide to strip it down to check for anything obvious:

My uncle got his N6P a few day back. And his daughter was having some fun setting it up, and she accidently broke the sim card reader. The pins are broken in there. If I manage to find a SIM Card reader, would it be possible to change it? And where would I be able to find it? So far, I haven't been able to find any.
Also, the warranty doesn't support it (apparently) and no repair shops have been willing to give it a try.
Hi, could you finally do it?
