Hi all,

Yesterday my beloved 3GS started to lock up - after doing a restart it refused to detect my SIM card. I tried my SIM card in other phones and it worked no problem, and I tried other SIM cards in my 3GS and it wouldn't detect them "SIM Card Not Found" / "No SIM".

I've tried all the normal resets / restores / compressed air down the hole etc... and it's looking like it's probably a hardware issue.

Has anyone else ever had this / have any suggestions as to how it might be resolved.

I was due an upgrade last month but just dropped my premium instead as the 3GS was performing so well - means I'm currently stuck using a budget Vodafone branded Android Jelly Bean thing - it's slow, clunky and rather horrible...

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

** FIXED **

Thanks for all the help everyone...
