Clear video and tutorial!

But why make the process too long where in fact you can do it fast and simple by directly pulling out the dual sim card reader/slot off the board right after removing the mid-frame cover (after Step 4), and thereafter put in the replacement part?

The 16 steps can be done in just 5 or 6 steps.

Might as well re-title this to: Partial Disassembly of Xperia T2 Ulta Dual.
