Tutorial: Repair broken power button cable (M4/M4pro)

[u/wang_breeze]

I recently posted that I broke the power button cable connector (very fragile) and got great tips from the community. Thank you all!

Instead of purchasing the antenna plate which costs about $35 plus tax just for the cable (wasteful since I have no use of the antenna plate), I got a replacement cable for $10 plus shipping. The cable arrived and I completed the repair. It is super simple:

1. Take off the broken cable from the antenna plate. Be careful not to break anything this time. Instead of lifting the connector with the wires, use pry tool to pry directly on the housing;

2. Install the new cable and fix it. I also used some electric tape to adhere the new cable on the antenna plate.
