What’s the cost and time frame to replace a SIM Card Holder on a LG G3.

Well I have the same issue and my warranty will not cover this type of problems. I already ordered replacement SIM tray from Ebay. Still thinking should I replace it myself or give it to technician. It seems complicated and I don’t have all the tools. Update (10/25/2015) Finally my phone is fixed. After ordering replacement part from EBay (less than $3). I asked technician to fix it because I don’t have all the tools needed to do it. It took him about 10 min. he was saying there is 20% chance of damaging the phone. If you are not expert don’t do it yourself and risk your phone. Tip: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has the same size SIM card reader as of the G3 you can use it)

If your phone is less than 1 year old from the time yu purchased it, send it to LG for warranty repair. You will need to send a copy of sale receipt.

Where are you located in?

Replacing the Sim Tray is simple if you have the correct tools. You will need Aluminum tape, a reflow station, desoldering wick, flux, Solder and a shovel head solder tip. The cost of the sim card tray itself is somewhere between $3 and $10 depending on your parts sourcing.

I Own A LG G3 D855 too, One of the Sim Card Connectors is broken, I have fixed it by just bending it so it will stick up and touches the sim card surface…. It has been working for 4 months so far. Thanks.

Not everybody had mommy and daddy’s Visa Darin. Plus $3 in parts and 20 minutes made me $10,000 on Ebay last year.
