Q: "No SIM" error message on iPad Air

This "error" appeared out of the blue. I did not drop my iPad and I had used it earlier in the day with no issues.

Later the same day:

Found a YouTube video that gave instructions on how to open the SIM card slot. Powered my iPad off, made sure my SIM was firmly seated in tray (it seemed to be, but who knows?), powered back on and all seems to be well. Hope it stays that way.

Hi lmdavis,

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

If the No SIM alert returns, try the possible resolution suggestions in the iPhone article linked below (you can skip step #5). Even though the article was written for iPhones, the troubleshooting steps still apply for the iPad.
