My N900 doesn't recognize SIM card - Page 5 - maemo.org

OK, rising the golden pins under the SIM did the trick for me. I put a tiny piece of office paper under them (about 1cm square) and had hard time closing the SIM holder. I hope it will stay working for a while. If there are no more updates, consider it a working fix.

My symptoms were a bunch of "McSAAB" errors in dmesg and insert-sim icon.

OK, so it did not work. It made the problem manifest itself a bit less, but it's still not fixed.

Sounds all so familiar.

Since there wasn't anything left for me to try out I had it picked up by my insurance company.

I'm now N900-less :-(

There's the option of getting a new SIM. Could help.

I think the solution is complicated, see there http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=209 (you can also read the entire thread, but I think that would be the only true solution)

Usually pin raising does the trick. I fixed mine by that too.
