IPad Hacks: No SIM Card Detected

You turn on your iPad one morning, and it shows no network coverage because your SIM is not detected. What do you do? Before you start panicking and rush to an iPad repair store, consider trying a few simple home tricks that might actually work and save you a lot of time and money. 


Move About a Little

It is possible that the particular location you are in has no network coverage because something is blocking the waves. Try moving about around your room or go to somewhere open and see if the network coverage returns. If it does, and if this continues to happen, you might have to swap network service providers.

Turn Airplane Mode On and Off

Turning on Airplane mode closes down all network connectivity and turning it off again would restore all network connectivity. Now, if the network adapter is hung, then the network would be restored immediately. It may not work, but it’s still worth a try.

Take out the SIM and re-insert it

This is the final thing you can try to restore your network connectivity. Simply open up the case of the iPad, take out the SIM and re-insert it after a few seconds. This refreshes the entire process and eliminates any obstacle that was causing the SIM to be blocked. If even that doesn’t take care of the problem, then your iPad officially requires professional aid.

Whatever it is, be assured that it can be taken care of and that it wouldn’t cost you a pile of money. It might be that the antennae of your iPad are being blocked by something like dust, or that the network adapter is out of order. It would require a simple iPad repair to take care of the matter following which you can have uninterrupted network access.
