There is a step missing between step 10 and 11, you didn't explain how to remove the flexible connector that go's to the power/volume buttons next to the camera location on the side of the phone.

Hey iFixits,

I have a Padfone S (international version, supposedly the same as the Padfone X sold in the states), which suffered water damage. I presume the logic board needs replacing and since there are more Padfone X's out there, thinking of buying a 'for parts' phone with say, a broken screen, and just swapping logic boards to make one working phone. Does anyone know if these logic boards for the S and X are compatible?? Thanks in advance.
