I'm working on an ip6 that has had one LCI triggered next to the sim slot. Anyways it is not reading any sims, the slot doesn't look damaged. ideas?
I'm stuck on the activation page. Anyway to activate it without a sim?
Is this a good question?

You Can always connect it to itunes as long as the sim is on the iphone to bypass activation

A friend just bought a used iphone 6 (it had the screen replaced by "someone") anyhow... it will NOT read the SIM and cannot be activated. Is it possible to bypass the activation in itunes and set it up (like an ipad) .... that way we could "finally" reset the time and date (I read that is one of the BIG issues with iphones that have been taken apart to have the screen and battery replaced) .... any thoughts?

You can try another SIM card. If it still not work, that's the problem of your phone. You need to take it to repair. As far as I know, the iPhone 6 cannot be activate without SIM card.

Hello SAM,
First check from software level to fix your fault,
Settings--> General --> Reset --> Reset Network Settings
Or check with " Erase All Content and settings" Note: All data will be lost on the phone
If the fault couldn't be solved in software level you have to
Hardware Troubleshoot
Check any sim contact missing or bent
if non of above could solve the fault you may have to replace AS3922 chip to fix the fault (Sound BGA reworking skills required) in this step if any mistake you made, few functionalities wont work anymore including NFC
Officially, you should required to sim card to activate your phone.
Hope this answer help you to fix your phone by your self.
Good luck!

Do NOT do this! You have a water damaged phone with a hardware defect. Attempting to restore has a big chance of bricking your phone and making it permanently unusable.
Jessa, i guess he already did it & it's now stop at initial setup screen. my answer focused on wide range as someone facing these kind issue in future. i got the point and agreed with you. Thank you!
Hi Buddhika Mahesh ,
I am not in the IOS, stuck on activation screen.
The sim contacts are looking ok, nothing bent, I can't really reach the area as the sim case cover is in the way.. should I just try to dip some isopropyl on a q-tip anyway?
Replacing chips is out of my expertise.
Don't do that. dipping isopropyl alcohol is is not safe way to clean the logic board.
Hope below guide will help you to get logic board out for the service
