I've just had the same problem. The sim card was resisting being removed, and when I managed to remove it, a metal pin came out with it, which can't be good…
Since then, if I put a sim card in the phone, it will refuse to boot. I tried with different OS install booted from the sd card (two mobian and a manjaro/phosh) and they all behave the same : works perfectly without sim card, doesn't boot with it. Which kind of defeat the phone purpose of being a phone.
> Please have a look at the datasheet attached... it gives you a better idea than the blurry pic on the product page Rolleyes
> It seems that these type of connectors, had been something like a standard footprint from different manufacturers.
Do you mean that it's a part we could replace?
