[Fixed] [Solved] Zenfone "Please install SIM1 card" or "Please install SIM2 card" error

    9 comments
Many of Zenfone users (including me) have been facing this "SIM card error" on their phones. It gets worse when we are in middle of something (during playing game, using internet or during calls) and signal drops. Then it reconnects and after some time, the error comes again. Its a very annoying and irritating problem. I searched internet for solutions but it didn't help. Some says to eject and insert SIM card, some says to upgrade or downgrade firmware. But it is neither a software issue nor a firmware bug. At last I got it solved by following method. I am sharing it with you.

STEP 1

Open back cover of your phone.

STEP 2

Remove battery if it is removable and it is necessary to remove it to see SIM card slot.

STEP 3

Remove SIM card from the SIM card slot which is showing error.

STEP 4

Now see following picture carefully and look for those two tiny bezels(metal stripes).

Press them lightly with your SIM card edge or with a toothpick. Don't press too much as it may harm your phone.

STEP 5

Now press whole SIM card slot with your thumb lightly, to bend it slightly downward.

STEP 6

Now insert your SIM card and power up your phone. Repeat steps again if problem still persists.If it helps please hit like on facebook button. Comment for feedback and queries.

This error is caused by loose SIM card in SIM slot. It gets loose when you eject or remove your SIM frequently or by tampered or SIM card with uneven edges. By following above method you can make it fit tight again.



Note: Do not press too much as it may damage your phone. Do not touch any other part of your SIM slot or battery. I have tested this method on my Zenfone 5 and it worked like a charm. Though it may damage your phone, so use this method on your own risk. I am not responsible for damaged devices and void warranties.
