ASUS Mobile Phone Flex Cable
ASUS mobile phones have become increasingly popular over the last few years. It may be that you need to replace your ASUS mobile phone flex cable, if it has become damaged. Replacing the cable in this manner can help to save you the expense of having to replace the whole unit.
You should be careful, of course, to make sure you know what you're doing and follow the instructions carefully, or you run the risk of damaging the sensitive internal workings of your mobile phone.
What is a mobile phone flex cable used for?
Essentially, a mobile phone flex cable is a type of thin plastic ribbon cable that transmits electricity or electronic signals. Within a mobile phone, flex cable is generally used in the battery charging mechanism, helping to transfer the electrical charge effectively and efficiently through the phone, without taking up as much space as a conventional round cable would.
Some types of mobile phone flex cable for ASUS mobile phones
You must ensure you get the right cable for your particular ASUS phone model, otherwise you may find it doesn't fit or work correctly.
Some of the replacement flex cables you can buy come with the whole charging mechanism included, so you can replace everything at once. Others are simply the cable itself, which you may need to replace if it has become worn or damaged.
Some flex cable kits for ASUS mobile phones come with the necessary tools for fixing the cable (eg correct size screwdrivers), which may be handy if you don't have your own tools that would be capable of doing the job.
