first time is always the hardest...

@ zacko

i am gonna be around TTDI area before 1pm and in sunway thereafter. so if you want me to have a look at it, do let me know.

but i beg you not to use any pins or sharp objects. you will end up regretting it.

PM sent

@ zacko

i can't determine until i see the actual unit. even though i just hope that you didn't damage the ejector with those sharp pins.

someone wants to take over this?

i'm not regretting, but i don't want to elaborate much until i have seen it

eh don't joke anymore. it can get quite stressful at times like this alright? =)

hi guys. sorry for the late reply. i'm meeting him today at 6pm due timetable clashes yesterday.


will update shortly

well as expected it is out of my reach. TS put two layers of cellophane on his SIM card, causing it to be too thick or the glue from the cellophase as melted as the result of the heat generated


dismantling the phone is the only option now.

nope, i'm not gonna dismantle it. too much responsibility and i can't handle it.

i sudah sub-con to crxr. they are meeting up as i'm typing now

@ sudhirian

to be honest, there is actually a rumour (i have tested this but doesn't work) that if you stuck a cellophane on the SIM card, it will increase the contact surface with the gold plated panels. hence this will improve overall signal strength from the network. TS has actually stuck two layers to his SIM card.

however, for my case i didnt cut the cellophane according to the shape of the SIM (as i have also anticipated this). i focused mine towards the centre bit. but once i have found that it doesnt work as prescribed, i removed it days later.

this also brings me to my next point, there were actual glue residues on the SIM card. this is obviously expected as the iphone do generate a substantial amount of heat. so those glue residues could have "spilled" over to the edges of the SIM card, causing it to be stuck.

i didnt offer my help to dismantle for two simple reasons; i'm not really an expert in dismantling one and i have not dismantle one with the SIM card tray still inside (fearing that it might break inside). try to look at the schematic drawings of an iphone and you will understand my paranoia if i cannot remove the tray first prior to dismantlement.

@ Shock


crxr can definitely fix it. i have the slightest doubt.


anyway, one is trying to increase the SIM card thickness by putting a cellophane. the rest is pretty self explanatory.

@ Shock

i'm not a very articulate person, but if you can try to google around, there is some "scientific" explanation for that.

for a better reception...
