SOURCE: what do i do if invalid smartchip appears?

Your cellphone will only work with Cingular/AT&T smartchip. What kind of smart chip are you trying to use with LG CU400. I believe no other smartchip will do.

You cannot reactivate a smartchip aka sim card...once it's deactivated for security purposes they are not reactivated. You will need to get a new smartchip
