There's the old remedy or rubbing the surface of the surface of the SIM cards. Have you try putting the SIM cards in different phone? Just in case the SIM cards itself are the problem.

Put into micro slot with maxis adapter, cant detect. I tried a third party adapter that happened to be slightly thicker, put into micro slot, ok can detect.

Last time my Galaxy S4 unable to turn off Wifi, they chance the whole motherboard as well, cost me RM600++.
