Screen replaced - small SIM issue

Hello,

Just a small question. Now I've done 2 screen replacements on an iPhone 4S I everytime have a small issue with the SIM card.

When powering on the iPhone 4S after screen replacement, it doesn't ask for a PIN code. It doesn't give the "no sim" error either.

Solution I found was to reset network settings or do a restore... both worked.

Could anyone explain me why this is, and what's the correct fix to the issue?

Many thanks!

Well, found a solution to this problem.

After changing three screens on iPhone 4S with iOS6. All three with this problem.

The solution I found: Insert the sim before you turn on the phone. Then connect the iPhone to the WiFi. Take the sim card out, and put if back in ;)

Hopefully this will resolve the problem.

It's a bug in iOS6. We are many who are waiting for a fix for this :-) Everytime the battery has been disconnected, you will have to restore in order to make your phone see your SIM card.
