    • Start by locating the small opener tab at the bottom-left corner of the phone.

    • Remove the entire back cover.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to make it easier to open. Here I'm simply using a cosmetic tweezer as I don't have one.

    • It did leave a mark a bit but doesn't matter to me.

    • Remove the following screws:

    • 3 shorter Phillips #00 screws

    • 10 longer Phillips #00 screws

    • One of my longer screws is missing, don't know when I lost it.

    • Gently lift the midframe up.

    • There might be some adhesive beneath these, just keep lifting it up gently.

    • Identify these:

    • Flex Cable connector

    • Power and Volume Button Flex Cable itself

    • Battery Power connector

    • First disconnect the power line by gently lifting the Battery Power connector up to prevent accidental power-on.

    • Use a spudger to make it easier to lift it up.

    • Gently pull the Flex Cable connector off from its port.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to make it easier to pull it off.

    • Carefully place it.

    • Proceed to the conclusion.

Ahhh! Why Asus mobile phones aren't long lasting. My device is taking long time while charging and it drains too fast. I've also Asus Zenfone max pro m1, and its headphone jack has been stopped to working
