I broke the Xenarc plastic tab (that holds ribbon cable)
I wonder if Xenarc will sell the plastic tabs? If not, well, I'm screwed!

They only seem to carry the ribbon. And even that is out of stock.

Can you use hot glue to hold it in place?

You want to know my aproach to this:
I will buy a ****ed up PCB from the flea market (from a boom box or H.T) get 2 clips and glue them together. (to make a large one)

I read those toothpick threads... they are related to the Lilli, but I think something similar might work with the Xenarc. The one interesting suggestion was to try to wedge something in there to apply pressure. I'm thinking paper... something non conductive of course.
Hot glue seems will not work, as it does not apply enough pressure.
I sent an email to Xenarc... I hope they acrry replacements. One would think they carry a bunch of these.

I broke mine as well. I stuck a small piece of a business card in there to apply pressure, and then hot glued it.

I did that once to the keyboard on my laptop. a couple pieces of cardstock did the trick. (Business cards work well for this)
