sim card reader tray broken but working!

[Langy3366]

I couldn't fit my sim into the 8900 phone. Took it to pieces and found a bent copper reader pin. Trying to straighten caused it to break. I now have only 5 of the original 6 pins touching the sim. The good news is that the phone seems to work.

2 questions please:-

• is it easy to replace the reader? They are a few quid on ebay.
• is it possible that some functionality may be compromised with 1 of the 6 failed pins

Many thanks for your continued support.

PS. Managed to upgrade from 4.6 to 5 OS yesterday (eventually). If anyone wants help let me know. It worked for me when I switched off wireless on the laptop to force Blackberry Desktop Software to read the OS on the laptop.

please.... someone must have an opinion about the sim card reader tray, plug in/out or solder?
