Hi,
well it would appear when i was fiddling around installing my carpc this arvo i accidently hooked the cable that goes between 2 of the pcb's for my lcd wrong, and have since fried the cable, here is a pic of the cable.

now from my research i have discovered it is a ZIF style connection, has 40 tracks (pins or what ever you want to call them), has a pitch of .5mm and its approx 20cm long. anyone know where i might be able to source another or 2 (just incase). i dont mind paying for the shipping down to me in Australia, but i dont want to buy a whole new screen just cause i damaged one track on this one cable.

btw this is the last thing i need to sort out before i can get my carpc working

thanks

its all good now, managed to find a replacement at a local tv/dvd player repair shop. they found a suitable replacement in a dead dvd player. soo all is looking good again
