SIM card not recognized with EP06-E ("+CME ERROR: SIM not inserted")

Hey @saeed, finally got around the time and money to get a new HAT to finish this IoT module… but I’m still having the same issue with a brand new HAT! :disappointed:

Output of sudo ./quectel-CM -s <apn> which is still showing SIM_ABSENT:
