HI
I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a LG G3 and a pin has broken off the sim card reader slot and it now won't read my sim card.
I have rang a few phone repair shops and none of them will fix it for me.
It is possible as there are youtube videos of guys doing it but it's not something I would be able attempt myself.
Can anyone recommend a good repair shop that might be able fix this for me?
I'm based in Lucan Dublin but don't mind driving somewhere within reasonable distance to get this fixed.
Thanks.
