S4 - Not reading SIM card; therefore no phone

The S4 is fairly modular and with some guidance made this effort very easy. The diagnosis was the difficult part and first spent $4.00 for just the reader. The replacement motherboard had one on it. Replaced the motherboard in about 1/2 hour and unlocking from AT&T took about 1 hour (via email). So happy.

Don't be afraid. Go slow and research. If you need to start 'guessing' with replacement parts, go from cheapest and more expensive.

Thank you for the info and guide Jim, my brother's coming up fast and I want to give him a nice surprise.. Namely fixing his ageing beloved S4. He is in the same predicament as you; before you fixed yours like a champ. Kudos Jim.
And thank you for the info. Much appreciated..
