S4 i9515 Sim card removed error.

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

Hello everyone

Ok so I have been using this wonderful device for 2 years with no problems at all.

but for the past 2 months this error happens normally in different conditions ( while using, on the desk , in my pocket ,etc.) .

It gives an error that sim card removed please restart your phone.

Tried all methods in this 2 threads

Nothing really helped (applying pressure on the sim tray add a foam heat ic etc..)

I went to Samsung in Turkey asking them if they can fix it they said it's a faulty mainboard and we don't change nor fix mainboards :D.

Which left me with one option...

I have to change the mainboard myself ( any other ideas would be awesome )

The problem is.. my phone is i9515 and it's very limited here in Turkey.

I could only find the i9505 mainboard which is exactly same spec for the i9515

( I can't order one online because Turkey uses registered imeis and buying one abroad will cause my phone to get blocked by network operators)

will replacing the i9515 mainboard with a i9505 mainboard might cause a problem ?

Thanks in advance :)
