I have the same issue, I ordered the Asus Zenfone 2 SIM Card Reader Holder Connector Slot Flex Cable Replacement and will replace it as soon as I receive it by mail. Ordered it through ebay for 10$CAN Update (01/08/2017): It worked! I received the item and it wasn't working, the seller on ebay sent me another one and now the phone WORKS just as it did before. Though it was a little pain to replace it ended up working.
