For the device to be replaced by microsim!

I'm sure that if you contact the repair center or local support team they can help you to explain what components in the phone that has been damaged.

We always recommend to use an operator supplied micro SIM to avoid damages being made by cutting your mini SIM into a micro.

@Mr Johan : I cut the sim in Vodafone store only and it was properly done,but it didn't get locked so when i gave to service they are askin me to replace the motherboard and it doesnt come under warranty

What do you mean by it didn't get locked?

Since the motherboard needs to be replaced something must have been damaged. Have you spoken to the repair center or local support team? What do they say?
