[Xperia X] SIM cards not recognized

My Sony X stopped recognizing my SIM cards.

I do see the bar that indicates signal quality, but it stays empty. Also, the phone does not ask me for the PIN code.

However, when I pull out the SIM/SD cartridge, it usually tells me that the SIM card has been removed and that I'd need to reset my phone in order for it to work. The SD card, which is inserted with the same cartridge, is recognized and I am able to access the data on it.

In order to check if SIM slow 2 is working, I removed the SD card and placed the SIM card in its slot. The behavior stayed the same.

I also tried two different SIM cards after verifying that both of them do work correctly in other phones.

Then I used my secondary Sony X and inserted the very same cartridge there. It correctly recognized the SIM in all Sailfish versions on that phone (version 2.1, version 2.2 and the current version 3.0.0.8)

Maybe this is a hardware issue, but I'd like to be sure before changing phones.

What can I do to debug this issue further?
