This is classic (big size) SIM card slot (no nano, no micro). I input the SIM card frame (adaptor?) without micro SIM card in the frame and the frame got stuck and the slot got apparently damaged when i removed the SIM rame with force, because, i have not used hack to remove it safely:
Result -> No SIM is detected (likely due to damage).
Now i disassembled the phone and see that the printed circuit from the bottom has no soldering. I think that the connectors inside tray are not just bend but instead broken and away.
I am wondering if anyone have experience repairing the SIM slot or disassembling it.
UPDATE: i have found video where the guy is replacing the SIM slot connectors by the ones from different (used) SIM tray:
i also found that local electronics store sells small electronics parts for the printed crircuit boards so i am likely going to buy SIM tray for like $1 and try soldering out the PINs and replace by new ones as seen on the video. Unless you have better idea than what is shown on the video.
UPDATE: i was unable to finish this since the SIM trays i purchased had a bit different connectors for the SIM slot. The soldering was too difficult for me since too small space in the phone for wires and on other hand too close printed circuit board points for soldering (somethin like maybe 2 milimeters spacing). One have to have same SIM tray for successful replacing of the tray connectors or enough space round the tray to use own longer wires (if short, wire will get too hot and disolve already soldered point at other end) to interconnect PCB (printed circuit board) with new SIM tray.
