[title] Remove damaged socket
-[* black] One the flip side of the main PCB is the micro-SD and the 3G SIM-socket. Use soldering iron to remove the damaged socket. As with lead-free solder, higher heat is necessary. One can use traditional solder to decrease the temperature necessary. (Add more solder first, then remove with solder wick)
-[* green] SIM Socket
-[* blue] Micro-SD Socket
-[* black] The old socket is damaged anyway, so DO NOT try to get it off in one piece. Instead desolder pad by pad and carefully bend the holder up. Do not apply much force. Especially the 8 pads at the PCB edge are delicate.
-[* black] Clean solder residue and make sure no leftover solder is on the pads.

+[* green] SIM Socket is indicated by the green circle in the 1st image.
+[* blue] Micro-SD Socket is indicated by the blue circle in the 1st image.
+[* black] Since the old socket is damaged anyway, you do not need to remove it in one piece. Desolder each pad and carefully bend the holder upwards. Applying too much force could possibly damage one of the 8 pads on the PCB edge.
+[* black] Clean the solder residue off of the 8 pads on the main PCB board.
