Are you getting an error message such as "insert correct SIM", or something silmilar? If it does this with every SIM card you have tried and these SIM cards work OK in other phones, then I suggest you run a software update/re-installation using the update service, which requires the phone to be switched OFF anyway and can be done without the SIM card:

The other thing you can try--and this is a long shot--is remove the memory card and see if that helps.

Hope this is useful.

thanks for the reply

the sim cards are working properly in other phone,

and I am not getting any error message, while starting phone, I am getting only the Sony ericsson logo on screen and after that I am unable to do any thing, to switch off the phone I have to remove the battery.

Iwill try for the sw updated and let you know if any success.

OK, the other thing you can try is cleaning the SIM card contacts inside the phone.Let me know what happens.

Had the same problem.

It seems that the phone has a SW bug :smileygrin:.

The steps to reproduce the bug are the following

1. Insert a SIM and configure the phone to request the SIM PIN at startup.

2. Close the phone and switch the SIM card with another SIM that dones not have the SIM PIN request enabled.

3. Phone stuck at bootup screen -> lol.

I have placed my sim in another phone, enable the SIM PIN request and then place the SIM in the Sony Erricson Elm device and the device booted correctly and asked for the PIN.

Hope this will help other people :smileydevil:.

thanks for the reply,

this trick really worked,

I have enabled SIM PIN in a new SIM in another phone and inserted the new SIM in my phone its started, but when I have used the old SIM without SIM PIN the stuck at bootup screen again.

then I have enabled SIM pin on my old SIM and inserted it on the phone its started.

thanks once again

Please tell me did you find any permanent solution for this problem, because its again not working if the SIM PIN is disabled in the same or other phone

i have checked it,

it works but its not the permanent solution, the phone is not accepting any SIM without SIM PIN enabled.

hoping for a permanent solution from the sony team

thanks in advance.
