Sony Ericsson C510 - sim card is not detecting

[#1]

I bought a Sony Ericsson c510 before 7 months ago and now i confused with such a problem which always gave the message “ Insert Sim or view demo”and " Inactive sim" always.. and it is already damaged to my Sim also ( Sim was worked perfectly when i have this problem )… so I bought a new sim and insert it and again my phone gave me same error.. but my new sim is work properly in other phones now also…
I already updated the firmware of the phone. But still it not detecting the Sim..

what can i do… ???

This problem is apparently due to a PCB fault and the solution is to have the same replaced. There is not a software fix for this issue if you have warranty send it back and get it replaced with a different handset.

I have the same problem with my J105 Naite [8 months old], they replaced the PCB once, refused to recognise the problem the next time. They said, orally, that it was a SIM Problem,

I:

i. have had the SIM replaced by the service provider, [BSNL]

ii. have tried another SIM from the same service provider, [BSNL]

iii. have tried SIM from another service provider, [Tata Dokomo]

the problem still exists,

so........ best of luck........... but act fast if under the warranty so they will replace free of cost ................

Hi,

I am facing the same problem in C510 from 2 months. I went to service center. they have replaced the Key foil basically the sim holder that charged me 1750/- Rs..

but still I am facing the same issue .

Just want to let you know that these sony erricssion authorised services center are not valid through out India. I mean I have done the serviceing in mumbai now I am delhi. Now they are saying they can not handle the same issue in differnet location. I am very upset by using the sony erricssion product. previously I used to have Nokia but now I went with Sony product. These consistent issue make me very upset. So i recommend dont buy sony erricssion product if they can not give proper services.

I guess they know this is a bug in there handset still ???

Please help if you have any solution.

Thanks,
