advice on replacing ribbon cable fro PCB to LCD?

[Keith Ostertag]

Hello blackjetrock and thanks so much for your detailed response! I can imagine you spent quite a bit of time and effort researching and playing with this, and it is a great resource for the forum to have your comments for the archive! The links are very helpful. I find the bus sniffing fascinating but beyond my abilities.

It's really to bad that these LCD ribbon cable problems are so common, and that there is no easy fix.

The only reason I thought I might attempt this repair is my ribbon cable has a much larger pitch than the one shown in your links, so that might make it easier to connect with the 3M tape? In your link Menadue speculates that his cable's pitch may have been too fine for the 3M tape.

I don't know how pitch is determined- is it the distance between trace centers? Mine seem to be 3mm.

Attached is a photo of the cable I am working with.
