Asus ZenFone 5 Touch Sensor Replacement

はじめに

The touch sensor on the ZenFone 5 is located on the back of the phone. Since it is used every time the phone is starting up, it is used very frequently and, since it comes into direct contact with the user very often, can run into issues with relative ease. The touch sensor will need to be replaced if it is not reading a fingerprint or is simply not working in the proper way.

This guide misses a step in disconnecting the touch sensor from the motherboard. If you do not reconnect the press fit connector for the fingerprint sensor during reassembly, it will not function.
