Getting the SIM card dummy plug out a real challenge. Broke off one end. Seems this part was never intended to be removed.

This is very delicate. The flap is very easy to break off. Remove the yellow tape on both these connectors and replace with ordinary plastic tape upon reassembly. If you don't tape them you'll pull them apart working on the other. A helper to hold the assy is a good idea.

Great guide. Easy to follow! Step 1 was the hardest step. I had so much trouble getting the device open.
