Restore Reliable Power Control with a Genuine Asus Power FFC Cable

What Is the Asus Power Button Flex Cable?

The Asus power FFC cable is a flat ribbon cable that connects the laptop’s power button board to the motherboard. It transmits the on/off signal, allowing your device to power up or shut down properly. Damage to this cable—often caused by hinge pressure, drops, or chassis repairs—can lead to power button failure or erratic behavior.
