I bought a chateau 5g r17 ax model from the second hand market and the seller did not specify that the micro sim slot was damaged and I didn’t notice the damage during inspection because it looks ok from the outside…once I got home turns out there was a sim stuck and the previous owner could not get it out normally and so used force and completely damaged the sim slot from the inside and now it does not work…I need to buy a new SIM card slot and I need help where to buy the replacement…I went to the mobile repair market and nobody knew what this device was to begin with and they didn’t even wanted to try and swap the slot with an old phone sim slot…one of them told me to just provide the same sim slot and he would be willing to try and swap it…I searched and could not find the exact same model can someone here help where can I find one?
In that case for the exact part number it's better to contact Mikrotik directly. I believe they would help you in that matter. Also what phone repair shop can't replace SIM slot... They should check how many pins there is. I think modern SIM cards have only 6 pins. You need something like this i think: https://www.sunrom.com/p/micro-sim-card-socket-6-pins-spring-loaded-push-type but you need to check your Mikrotik device to see if something like this will fit
I believe that you need one with the detection switch for the card.
The part should be either of these:
- TE Connectivity 2174803-2 (Push-push, standard profile Micro SIM) https://www.te.com/en/product-2174803-2.html
- TE Connectivity 2229333-2 (Low profile variant)

You should have the old one removed (it is broken anyway) and compare it with the drawings of the two above.
