Micro sim adaptor got stuck in the sim tray of my 2 year old nexus 5 (yes stupid mistake) but I very carefully followed instructions by droid life and recovered the sim tray. But now phone doesn't recognize the sim anymore...
I am sure either the pins are damaged or have loosened leading to no contact with sim... I think my options are:
1. Try to add a piece of shim to the sim tray to create better contact - should this go above the sim or below?
2. Dissemble the phone following ifixit videos and try to solder the broken pins - i don't have any soldering equipment and its been ages I did something requiring such precision
3. Buy a new motherboard sim tray and replace - does this also need soldering?
4. Buy a broken nexus 5 and do the same as above
5. Or use the phone as an android pod.
Any suggestions appreciated!
