But why not publish the bill of materials? Most of the parts are probably available from suppliers such as Digikey. Some of us are willing and able to take on surface mount repair. If I had a phone with a broken card slot I'd try to replace it before spending $100+ for a new board.
For the regular PinePhone the parts are published here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_component_list and here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#P...ifications and here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone#D...eripherals
For the Pro not all documents are released yet but judging from the proceedings with the regular PinePhone that all happened after the Braveheart Edition, so I would expect Pine to release them after the Explorer Edition as well.
For the regular PinePhone the part is called "SA-2202-112 25-pin Micro-SIM and TF slot" and should be compatible with the Pro. You won't find the part on any supplier, such parts are usually sold in bulk between Chinese companies. We tried to find similar parts in the community chat for the slot and for other components such as the headphone jack but that's very hard.
I think the process of Pine having a limited additional amount of those parts and sending it free of charge (shipping has to be paid) when opening a ticket is fair. However if you find a confirmed compatible alternative part please feel free to list it on the wiki as suitable alternative.
tckosvic, that tone and allegations are really unasked for and are overstepping the mark. I'm not paid or "refute any criticism", in fact I criticized this and other parts and products plenty of times, long before you appeared here. I would recommend you to calm down and to take a break and to only come back only after then.
