# ***Watch a Disassembly Video*** for the ***ROG Strix G15 (G512)*** before attempting anything.

# ***Check the Ribbon Cable*** – If it looks loose, carefully reseat it. If it's torn or frayed, replacement might be needed.
# ***Blow Out Dust*** – Use compressed air to clear any buildup near the hinge.
