Hi my galaxy s7 edge recently died so I decided to put the sim into my old J5. Without a sim card in the phone boots up fine and connects to wifi etc. However when I put the micro sim in with a sim card adapter the phone wont boot up, If I start charging the phone with the sim card in then I get a black screen with the phone charging icon flashing and a slight vibration like a notification vibration. Any ideas on a fix? tried different charges and cables but same issue, the phone battery is also about 80% charged.
