- Place the SIM card back into the tray, ensuring that it aligns with the designated slot and matches the orientation noted during removal.
- Carefully position the SIM card tray, aligning it with the slot on the device, and gently push it back into place.
- Ensure that the tray is securely inserted and sits flush with the device’s edge, indicating a proper fit.
- Gently press on the tray to ensure it is fully seated and does not protrude from the device.
By following these steps, you can effectively reinsert the SIM card tray into your LG G Stylo, securing the SIM card within the device for optimal functionality. This step sets the stage for powering on the device and ensuring that the SIM card is recognized and operational.
