in one step it says use a T3 for to the left and right of the charging port, later it says T4. also, the guide has what i believe to be a typo, as it mentions an “AT3” bit for removal of the internal bottom panel. just wanted to alert you to these inconsistencies. overall seems to be a good guide, i shall be replacing my screen soon as i have cracked the corner and find it unsightly. thank you, have a nice evening.

This was a fun fix, usually I fix iPad or iPhone, so this was my first time fixing an Asus and was easier than I thought it was gonna be. Just take your time as I didn’t now I’m fixing something else .
