Day 2 after I posted, phone functions are completely dead. I did the following:

- Opened up the device, got my soldering iron, heated up the whole zone (didn't open the shield) by overheating the soldering iron ant touching the schield untill everything became verry hot. Got a tip of a pen and blow with all my force to clean out if any dust is under that shield. Now going to the SIM Reader. I heated up all those points that other user said to hit with a hammer.

- Now, I just added some epoxy to the USB port and connected him by epoxy to the nearby shields, for protection.

- Put it all back together and boot it with a Vodafone SIM. SUCCESS!

- Put back my old COSMOTE SIM and... WORKING.

- Apply some good shocks from every side, even doing some drop tests on the carpet and guess what! WORKS LIKE CHARM.

I attached some pics:

This worked for me. Now I am testing what really caused the problem. I am going to walk for a while in my house with the phone in my pocket and see if I get the same problem. I will edit this post after a while so I can se if it works or not!

*****METHOD CONFIRMED FOR WORKING!!!*****

I'm glad it's working again with minimum effort!
