I bought another non working from ebay so I can build one working from two non after messing up the front of mine.

What are you replacing the foam with, I've been looking through digi-key, mouser, etc trying to find some foam tape that small.

From what I understand, he leaves the zip tie in there that will pressure the ribbon cable onto the connectors below. I have hard time figuring out how to/where to put the zip tie... maybe a diagram would help. I have been watching countless videos to understand the inside of the HP48, but still. Also with the small opening, I don't really understand how we can position the zip tie in the right place. I guess it a matter of trial and error... I have nothing to loose anyway, so I guess I'll trie that at some point.
