Problem - No signal / no service

[Guest West]

Hi guys!

I have a problem. I need to repair a ZTE Blade 3. I changed the LCD half a year ago so there's no warranty and I can open it again.
 

Here's the problem:
The phone can't find a provider. I tried automaticly and manual, did a reboot and a factory reset. The ROM is stock. This is the first time this problem accured.

In settings -> about phone -> status i get this reading:

 

 

Note the upper right corner. No signal. Wifi works.



The USB port loses contact and I need to replace it. I already ordered a new one.
Since it sits on the same motherbord with the antenna, maybe that's the problem. I'll check if the antenna wire is connected tommorow when I get the phone. Last time it was pretty tight on there so I don't belive it's loose.


Thanks in advance!

You should at least put it in english. That's serbian.

I can't help you. It works for me, not sure where you got it wrong...

Wiped data, formatted system etc?

SOLUTION: Problem with the provider / SIM card

When the "no service" message first appeared, a new SIM card was requested from the provider. I thought that that the SIM card was excluded as a possible error. I tried the phone with my SIM card and it worked flawlessly. No, the SIM card did not expire.
