iphone 3G will not read my sim???

[pipcherello]

Hi all,

I have a 3G on 3.1.3 that was previously jailbroken. I restored the phone through itunes as I'm selling it. It was originally locked to o2 and I have an o2 sim card to test with. However when I do the restore I am given a message that there is no sim in the phone to proceed with activation of the phone, even though there is. I went into a phone shop to ask and they said its the fact that the jailbreak has corrupted the motherboard so it cannot read a sim again. The only thing on the screen is the itunes connection screen / emergency call screen and nothing else.

Does anyone know of a fix? Surely there is some sort of fix for this?

Thanks guys,

Paul

What happens if you connect it to iTunes, with your SIM card inside it?

I think it needs to be activated.


And don't listen to anybody who says that jailbreaking it corrupted your motherboard. That's simply not true. If anything, it'll corrupt your storage device .

It sais there is no sim inside to activate. I've tried everything including various sims. It tells me it needs a sim to complete activation

Yeah, that sounds right.

Hmm, no idea what could've happened, but maybe your SIM slot is broken?

....Are you sure you're putting it in correctly/all the way? I know it sounds like a stupid question, but I have no other suggestions.

Yeah Im sure of it. Tried everything I deem possible. I was using this iphone specialist shop as a last resort kind of thing, and he seemed sure that the phone cannot be repaired, but just don't want to take his word for it.
