My Sim Card holder hinge is broken since about a month, too. :/ The sim tray is sticking out of the chassi now. :eek:

If u have any N9, near try to replace with their, they u will come to know whats the problem

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

Well I have no spare parts I will try it trough the warrenty, because I have also problems with my Display. :)

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

I had the same problem. I still do, but I kind of covered it up. Since I don't change the sim card often, once every 6 months. I crazy glued the sim card tray to the body. I did not use a lot of crazy glue but just enough to hold it in place. If you are going to follow this, make sure to get a crazy glue that can be removed by something like nail polish remover. Now, if I have to change the sim I just use nail polish remover and scratch away at the glue to get the tray out and crazy glue it back in.

I've come up with an idea how to fix this. Simcard tray for n9 for about 10 times more expensive than that for lumia 800 but lumia's too short and n9 doesn't see the sim card. So I bought a simcard tray for lumia 800 and switched the plates inside so that the plate where simcard is hold is from n9 but the cover is from lumia 800. Works like charm.

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

I have other solution for this. I had for few days lumia 800 sim card slot and it fits ok inside N9, it didn't stands out. So i find out why, inside sim slot there is some kind of spring on left side(touchscreen side), lumia 800 slot is shorter than n9 so it didn't touch this spring. So here is solution :D

Left leg should be cut off about one milimeter, it's metal so you can't use scissors :D

I got my phone fixed by Nokia. Had warranty still going and RMA went through well. Try that!

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

Did Nokia fix it? Where did you sent it? Because my sim tray is also about to stick out of the chassis..:-( Dammit!

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

Well I will try/do it later this month but I don't think they will fix it only of the broken holder hinge (my N9 have also display problems and I'm hoping of some goodwill :rolleyes:..).
BTW I am living in Germany and got my N9 trough amazon and I will contact the seller.

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

You can go to the nokia homepage and do a reparation order. And then you can sent it to www.w-support.com This is an autorised care center in Germany. I did it as well, when i had stripes on the display, and they changed it ;) I'm thinking about to sent it again, because of the sim card tray problem...

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

How much did you pay for repairing your N9 ? Have they only replaced the AMOLED-screen?

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

Yes, they replaced the AMOLED-screen and i didn't pay anything because it was in the first 24 month of warranty. The sim-card problem appeared later :( But i'm thinking about to sent it again, because the outstanding sim-card holder makes me really nervous ;)
And i think it's better to do it now in the time of warranty than after it.

Re: Sapres for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge is broke
 

I have a big issue. A BIG BIG BIG BIG Issue!!!!

Please see the attached picture below.

My problem is similar to your's except that the sim tray won't stay down and lock in place anymore. It just pops back up to look like the picture. Will chopping off the left leg of the sim card work for me?

Note: this is definitely a problem with the phone and not the sim tray. My friend has an N9 and he has no problems with his N9. So he tried his sim tray in my phone and it popped back up. He re-inserted it into his own N9 and there was no problem.

So this is a problemo with the phone.

WHAT DO I DO???? OMG, WHAT DO I DO? I AM FREAKING OUT!!!!!

Okay, not really freaking but I love my baby (N9). I hate seeing my baby in pain. Can someone please make recommendations for me?

Re: Spares for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge broken
 

Get a new case or glue that simcard tray. I did that to my brothers N9 and it worked pretty good. I later had to remove the sim card and I didn't have much a problem with that. I just had to reglue it.

Re: Spares for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge broken
 

Did you use crazy glue?

Where did you put the glue?

You have to keep in mind that the phone pushes the simcard tray up. So if I glue it, then how will I be able to unglue it if I need to insert a new sim card?

If you want to go all out, replace the housing. Its your best bet. It costs $32, here are some links to australian ebay, although the seller ships international.

Black, blue, white.

Its pretty easy if you have some experience with electronics, and there are tutorials available on the internet to do it.

Re: Spares for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge broken
 

No wonder given the seller is in Hong Kong :)

<ot> As a UK resident, I often find the same items on UK and Australian eBay from the same seller, same shipping cost, only the Aussie one is usually 10-20% cheaper. Guess which one I buy :) </ot>

Re: Spares for N9, Sim Card Holder Hinge broken
 

Chopping the leg off of the simtray worked. Phone is now working again 100%

:)
