Guest Nero81 Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 Hi! I bought the MPx200 (in Italy, no brand) from about 15 days ago and from little less than one week my phone often shows (about two times at the day) this error: SIM Lost Errore The SIM is invalid or cannot be detected. Verify if it is inserted properly. usually all the morning, that is after the phone has not been used any more for 6-8 hours. The only solution is to turn off the phone and restart it. I have a Wind 64k SIM card (italian operator). Can you help me?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted January 26, 2004 Report Posted January 26, 2004 The SIM holder is not very well designed on the MPX and the two small lugs that hold the card in place can break off. A simple fix for this is to place some paper between the SIM and the battery to help to hold it in place.
Guest Nero81 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 usually all the morning, that is after the phone has not been used any more for 6-8 hours. I don't think there is a problem with SIM holder, 'cause the phone remains still all the night !
Guest mcwarre Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Are the two little black 'lugs' broken tho? During the night you are not moving the phone so it might be ok. During the day when moving it it may cause the problem. Please check because I think that awarner is right
Guest BOBRUTH22 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 Same Problem Here. The trouble is that the SIM clip does not hold the chip tight against the phones contacts. To correct, pad the area above the battery before replacing the back cover. Just a little will fix the problem. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Nero81 Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 I can't understand this: Are the two little black 'lugs' broken tho? sorry for my poor english! Every way I've tried the paper-trick! :wink: Tomorrow I'll let you know if it works... thanks!
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 12, 2004 Report Posted February 12, 2004 What mcwarre is talking about the two lugs is on the SIM holder there is a metal slide, opposite this should be two small pieces of plastic that hold the card in place. It's this plastic that is known to break off causing your problem.
Guest Nero81 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 The two "lugs" aren't broken... now the phone works perfectly, tomorrow I'll check if everything is ok or if still there's the fuc*ed message!
Guest mcwarre Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Nero, Look here http://smartphone.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=103799 . Can you see the photo in the top right? Look at the brown SIM. Can you see the two little black holders (Lugs or tabs?) holding it in place? That is what I mean. As ashley has said, try putting a bit of paper between it and the battery. Let us know how you get on!!!!
Guest BOBRUTH22 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Boy am I dumm. Slid the top of the SIM under the lugs and it works fine...Du Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Nero81 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Posted February 13, 2004 Hi guy! The phone seems to work fine... what can I say? Thanx to all!!!
