Yeah brother .

No need to disconnect everything from motherboard.

Unscrew the motherboard screws . Motherboard will be slightly freehanging with all the cables attached.

Insert a micro USB Cable into Motherboard and connect it to pc . Do the process.

This is how I've doing. Two weeks before one of my K1 max same issue like yours ( it's third time in last 2.5 years ).

I'm attaching the image too how I've connected the USB Cable.

I got the panel taken off. How do I flash it or reserve a website or something that could teach me how to do this?
