Messed Up Modem
#5
As I thought all these cell phone stores around me are too lazy to even attempt anything

uBreakiFix wanted to get caught up on what type it was then thought I said something about Xfinity Mobile

Every other were all saying we don't solder

I've already called 7 others

Currently, there is no cheaper way to get a new modem, is there? Unless I found a cheaper pinephone altogether on ebay used and removed it myself and replaced it.

Basically I had a micro inside a mini and that grove caught hold of the prongs one time and snagged up and out from the board, really wish we could just upgrade the slot all the way from a mini to a standard micro.

just to clear up confusion, did you mean micro-sim and nano-sim?

none of the pinephone models take mini-sim.

Yup that's what I meant then

haha
