Phone is dead after opening back to release a stuck SIM
A new SIM card got jammed in my Iphone 3G, so I found out how to open the back to release it, but when I put it back together, it was not working. I tried rebooting by holding the Power and Home buttons for 15 seconds. I tried rebooting by holding the Power, Home and Volume up buttons for 15 seconds. I tried recharging. The phone gave 2 little vibrations, but that was it. Is there any hope or did I ruin my favorite phone? Thank you, Nicki
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

An update: I removed the back and put it back on and now it powers on, but it is not responding to touch - I cannot 'slide' it on.

Ok, just saw your update. I'm now 99% sure that the ribbon cables are the issue. There's a special one for the touch feature that probably isn't properly seated. They need a bit of force, but make sure they're perfectly aligned before applying pressure to them.

That worked! Those ribbons were loose. I am grateful for your help!
