Damaged sim holder on m8

Ont of the pins for the sim has snapped off n gone somewhere.this was a manafacturing default and nothing to do with me.What can i do?please i really need some advice for this

that is having bad luck!

i see two options; trying to repair or request meizu for replacement?

yeah its really annoying,i was thinking that i could put a blob of solder where the pin used to be so that it touches the contacts,does anyone know if this would work?How would i go about getting meizu to fix this and would it be free of chatge?

otgrider,
any news on what we discussed in private message´s?
If it doesn´t work out can you provide a picture?

Hi evow04,i contacted the supplier as in their description they talked about a year warranty but so far i have not heard back and am not expecting to really,
So i guess i will do the blob of solder option,but i have to wait for someone from home to bring the soldering iron over to uni for me.
Would you like a picture of the damaged sim connector or after i have tried to repair it?

maybe you could make one now then we can advice some more?

could you advise me on how to show a picture. The picture ive got is on my computer but the insert picture option asks for a url

upload the picture to for example imageshack.us or photobucket.com
then put the URL you get there here on the forum inside the [img] tags.

Sorry its not vary clear,had to take on my roommates phone

I have a solution, check your PM box.
If the discussed thing with evow04 is the same, let me know...

LVL,have you messaged me about it as no new message has appeared

no problem, it is clear enough!

the blob of solder option

i was just thinking about my previous remarks,
you could do it more professional and easier to fit by making a mal in wood that has the shape of the missing pin.
Then you could drop the solder in it to match perfect, in case there are some rough parts you could use a grinding machine.
Or if you have some coperwire used for electric circuits/outlets you could strip and cut the wire in the needed length (i think it would match with the width that the pin has)

I FIXED IT!!! sorry about the capitals but im just really happy. i put a blob of solder in the place,took several attempts to get the blob to the right size. The solder is very poor as im using the worse soldering iron ever and in my uni room trying not to set off the over sensitive smoke alarm but atleast it finally works

well done dude!!

I haven't done anything
You did it all by yourself with some suggestions from evow04
