oldturkey03, thank you for your reply. Yes the phone worked perfectly with the exception of the SIM card reader no reading the new card. The phone is unlocked and I want to use it on TracFone.
I have taken the phone apart again and have taken some photos of the inside. I can identify most of the parts, but there is one connection labeled "????? NO. 2" and "A", that I have no idea what it does. I'm thinking that this may be the culprit. There is a connection on the mother board ("B") that seats into that connection "A", but once the motherboard is put back, it's a blind connection and I can't see if there is a good connection made. Hope this helps. By the way, I have tried all the suggestions of holding power buttons and volume buttons in various combinations, but to no avail. Thank for your interest. I could have sworn there was a place to add attachments, but now I can't find it! %#*@!
