Help with 3G on 4.1

omg... im toast! I accidentally dropped my sim into the spot where the tray goes, I can't get it out now.. Ive tried using tweezers.. Ugh.. I think this iphone is gone..

It will come out with gentle persuasion. Patience is key. Worst case, easily removed at the shop.

[HayWire]

wont my sim card reader be messed up though? ive been trying to get it out with tweezers, but I dont know if there is a better way. fml

[Mes]

Naww ... The reader portion is simple metal to metal (SIM to pin) contact, noting sophisticated there. If you've been gentle and not forced anything -- no problem.

[HayWire]

if i took it to a t-mobile store would they have something they could use to get it out?

[Mes]

Probably not. Search for a reliable repair shop that you are sure works in iPhones. The screen is easily removed (if experienced) and when removed easy access to SIM card area.

Total time: 5 minutes (if experienced)

Well there is place that unlocks iphones, im going to call them and see if they can do screen replacements, when I have had it running, it seems a little sluggish, and I have another screen already so I may just see if they can do it and then I should be able to get to the sim.. I hope I didnt break anything with the tweezers.. Is there anything in there that I couldve ruined?

As long as the three gold connectors are still there then you should be alright.

[HayWire]

they got it out.. now i just need the baseband unlock. ugh

[Simon]

Well thats a good thing at least

You shouldn't have too long to wait.

Yeah, I still don't know how I managed to drop it in like that.. smh i was so ticked last night I thought I was toast.I watched the guy do it, he used some really small screwdriver.. Would any tool place sell them or is it a special tool? Didnt look too hard to do though

[Simon]

I got mine from ebay but a hardware store should have them too.
