    Das ist nicht das Kabel für den Fingerabdrucksensor, sondern für den Ein-/Ausschalter und der Schalter hat sich bei mir gelöst und es hat mir einige Nerven gekostet das Maleur wieder zu beheben. Der Schalter ist nur sehr lose eingeclipst und muss dann zum Drehen und befestigen des Kabels am Motherboard mit dem Vorderteil gedreht werden.

    • Take care not to puncture the battery with sharp tools—a punctured or creased battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire.

    • During reassembly, make sure to slide the bracket's edge back into its slot under the motherboard cover.

    The metal fits under the black plastic near the screw shown to the left of the photo. When re-assembling, insert it back under here first, then lower the right-hand side back into place.

Very simple and to the point! Worked like a charm. The only qualm I have is that the replacement did not have camera lens covers. They had little blue plastic circles over them but once you bring those up, there’s nothing underneath.

I ordered this to replace the back on my G310 5G and it does fit!
