I was transferring photos from my Android phone to my ASUS VivoBook A507M (I selected the X507UA because it's the closest model).

The transfer was taking a very long time and my laptop became extremely slow, so I unplugged the USB cable without safely ejecting the phone. The transfer failed.

After that, I noticed that some photos were missing from my phone. Even more surprisingly, many photos stored on my laptop also disappeared. Only the photos in one folder on my D: drive were deleted. My documents and other files, especially on the C: drive, are still intact.

I checked the Recycle Bin, but the missing photos are not there. I also searched for the files, but they seem to have completely disappeared.

This happened quite a while ago, but I'm still hoping there is a way to recover the photos.

My questions are:

Why would unplugging the USB cable cause photos on both my phone and laptop to disappear?

Is it possible that the files were accidentally moved instead of deleted?

Is there any way to recover the missing photos, even though this happened some time ago?

How can I restore the missing photos to their original locations? Is there any recovery method I can still try?

My ASUS ROG Strix G513QR (Ryzen 9 5900HX, RTX 3070) has been overheating lately — I'm seeing CPU temps around 93°C even at low load (~11% CPU usage), while the GPU stays cool at the same time. Fans are already ramping up hard (3900 RPM CPU fan, 4200 RPM GPU fan) even without heavy usage.

I suspect dust buildup in the fans/heatsink and degraded liquid metal on the CPU die (this model ships with liquid metal from the factory). I'd like to open it up myself to clean the fans/heatsink and replace the liquid metal with a regular thermal paste (I have Arctic MX-4 on hand).

I'm not very experienced with laptop teardown, so I'd appreciate:

1. Confirmation of the exact screw/clip layout for removing the bottom panel on this specific model
2. The correct order for removing/reinstalling the heatsink screws
3. Any specific precautions for handling residual liquid metal safely (cleaning the die + IHS)
4. Whether replacing liquid metal with MX-4 is a reasonable choice for this CPU/GPU combo, or if I should stick with liquid metal

Any tips, warnings, or links to a reliable step-by-step guide for this exact model would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The SSD is a SanDisk SSD 128GB which is soldered to the board. I wonder if it would be feasible to unsolder it from the board and solder it back onto a M.2 or mSATA board.

The idea would of course to be able to recover the information stored on it.

Many thanks in advance for the answer(s) …

As requested, a picture of the SSD:

And is any particular rating of paste/Lmetal recommended? I have some arctic mx4 on hand, but want to get all I need before I tear into it since its my daily driver.
