Hi, Did you test the phone with different SIM cards, if the problem is the same you need a fix from a service center. Most likely the SIM tray is broken and needs replacement. Regards

Answer to "Nokia lumia 625 power button not working. How to repair?" 10/03/2016
Hi, You can try to disassemble the device and to reconnect the Volume/Power buttons and the LCD flex cables. Use this manual, step 3, pic. 3 Under the battery there are two flex cables. The yellow one is for the volume/power buttons the the small board in the bottom (mic, antennas, USB connector, etc.). The black one is for the LCD. Both of them are connected to the main board, under the main camera. Try do disconnect and reconnect them. You don't need to remove the battery, only disconnect it.

Answer to "I cant hear out of one ear phone" 03/14/2016
Hi, 99% this cable or audio jack problem. New ear phones or someone have to change or shortens the cable. Regards.
Answer to "Why is my phone giving me weird messages when started up?" 03/04/2016
Hi, Maybe you have a problem with the volume buttons. What do I mean, Android devices can be entered into Test mode by pressing a combination of hardware buttons, like Volume Down + Power or Volume Up + Power. Maybe you have a liquid or other damage with the volume buttons, one of them seems pressed when you try to turn on the phone. Try this, before switch on the phone, press the volume up and the volume down buttons stronger 2-3 times. If the problem persist, the device needs repair service. Regards.
Answer to "Can I fix this spot?" 03/04/2016
Hi, As i see, the glass is broken. This spot can be result from the pressing of the broken glass. Unfortunately the glass and the LCD are glued, you can't remove only the glass. Regardless if the problem is the glass or the LCD, you need a full spare part - display assembly - touch screen glass + LCD. Regards.
Answer to "How to get LCD to stick to frame?" 02/24/2016
Hi, For a best result you have to use adhesive sticker prepared for the model: https://www.google.com.cy/imgres?imgurl=...-IAAOSwYHxWMewm/s-l225.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ebay.co.uk...-Mobile-Parts-for-Sony-Xperia-Z3-Compact/43304/bn_463237/i.html&h=225&w=2... If the tape you used is of good quality, probably frame is not cleaned well. You need to use an isopropyl alcohol to clean the frame. Often, when the spare part is not of good quality or if there is hit, deformation of the frame, the screen does not fit well to the frame. Before I put the adhesive, I try the screen to the frame. From time to time I use a sharp screwdriver to "sculpting" the frame. Regards.
