Aircard 810s

Hi,
Have used Aircard 810s for a long time. Suddenly it refuses to recognise the SIM card (Swedish operator).
Have used the same SIM for 2-3 years.
Have changed SIM to another that I know works.
Have updated the firmware.
Have restarted the Aircard several time.
Have connected to Aircard via cable from PC and resetted the Aircard.

Have you any idea about solution or next step to make it work again?

  • Ahhh,
    The Aircard sys, ”No SIM card” or something similar.

      have you tried the non-working SIM on another working device such as a cellphone? and does it work? If it does work on a cellphone, it could very well be your Aircard 810.

       

      You also said you have put a known working SIM card in there. What happened, does it still not recognize it?

        It is a known functional SIM that I have put there. Took it from another Mobile Hotspot that I have.
        The response is still, type off, "No SIM-card installed."

        I believe that it is the 810S and the SIM-card recognition functionality. 
        Have resettled the 810S. It says that it is the latest firmware.
        Never heard of that the SIM-card compartment stopped working like that.
