Recognizing a faulty Galaxy S24 SIM tray

On the Galaxy S24, a damaged SIM tray is quickly noticeable: it no longer fits fully into the side of the phone, it gets stuck when removed, or the SIM card is no longer detected even though it works in another device. A fall can also bend the metal pin or break the clip that holds the card in place.

In these cases, replacing the SIM tray is generally enough: the motherboard is not at fault, and the operation does not require opening the phone.

A genuine Samsung part, supplied as a Service Pack

This SIM tray is a genuine manufacturer part, supplied as a Service Pack: nothing has been repaired or recycled. It is a new part, packaged in Samsung's repair packaging, identical to the one fitted at the factory. The manufacturer reference GH98-48906A appears on the package: it allows you to check, before ordering, that this is indeed the expected part.

This distribution method guarantees an exact fit in the side of the phone, with no play or difficulty when opening.

Which Galaxy S24 is this SIM tray made for?

This part is intended for the Samsung Galaxy S24, in Black color matching the side of the device.

Check the exact model of your phone before ordering: a SIM tray differs from one model to another in shape and shade, and a part of the wrong color remains visible as soon as you look at the side of the phone.

Installing the SIM tray safely

The replacement is done through the side of the phone, without disassembling the screen or the battery. Simply eject the old tray with a fine-tipped tool, then insert the new one until it sits perfectly flush with the housing.

Check that the tray goes in without forcing: resistance often indicates the wrong insertion direction rather than a fault with the part. A misaligned tray can also prevent the phone from properly closing its side.

What the warranty covers

This part is covered by a 2-year warranty. A SIM tray with a manufacturing defect, or that does not insert correctly upon receipt, is covered during this period.
