Have you tried removing it and putting it back in?
I have an iPad with 3G and wireless. Recently it began saying it has no SIM card installed. Any tips to correct this?

Yes, there is a sim card installed. I have not attempted to remove it...not sure where it is. I looked at it last night and didn't notice a spot for it, but I'm not the brightest bulb in the bunch. It is a version 1 iPad and I have wireless and ATT for road trips. It has always worked well. I have not attempted a restore...how would I do that? Thank you very much for replying...I really appreciate it.
I removed the SIM and replaced the SIM and that did not work.
I restored thru iTunes and that did not work.
I have an Apple Repair shop across the street from my office. I'll stop by there and see what they say.
Thank you again for your help...it is appreciated.
I took my iPad to an Apple Servicer and they suggested I try to install a new SIM card from an AT&T store and it worked. The guy at AT&T replaced the card and it began to work again. It was a slightly different card than what is used for phones. Thank you all again for your suggestions.
