    you lost me,
    FPC connectors are for flat cables - you dont have male/female

    unless you mean contacts down vs contacts up

        those arent FPC, they are pcb interconnects.
        and a pain in the ass to 100% identify.
        but to get you started, most are made by MOLEX and are from the "SlimStack" series

        i have been chasing those for a while to fix motorola DMR radio's

            can you work out the pitch between the pins?

                  Nintendo Switch HAC-001 LCD connector
                  by trepachka
                  If I removed the LCD connector while the battery is still plugged in, did this damage the logic board like it would a laptop? This is my first time working on one and not only did I forget to unplug the battery when removing the logic board but after I replaced the USB-C port, I broke the clip that keeps the LCD connector snug to the logic board.

                  I can replace the LCD connector if I knew the logic board was ok. I secured the LCD connector with a piece of Kapton tape. The console is charging but when power button is pressed, I only get backlight. So, I don't know where the logic...

                  No LCD image after connector replacement – lifted components and damaged resistor (Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-CPU-02)
                  by Tomylee
                  Hi everyone,

                  Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
                  I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

                  While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

                  During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

                  Nintendo Switch Oled dead
                  by estabilito
                  Hello, i bought dead nintendo switch oled.
                  after plugging charger with amp meter device shows 5v and 0,0 or 0,02 amperage draw.
                  I inspected motherboard and someone tried to reflow or replace m92t36 and didn't do it well, i resoldered it proper and find that usb-c fuse was blown too(replaced it).
                  After this device started to draw 15v and something around 0,48 but only for few seconds after this returned to 0A draw.
                  I tried to plug motherboard without battery - shows 15 0A and when charger was pluged i put battery back in then console started to charging battery but stuck...

                  Nintendo Switch lite shuts down after nintendo log and replaced M96T36o
                  by fab13
                  Hello everyone

                  After checking the defective USB-C port and close to a short circuit on the M96T36 chip (8ohm) I have changed both components.
                  I specify that there is no other short circuit or heating component(Vu thermal camera)

                  First, the problem arises: Error 2101-0001 after the start-up screen ("Nintendo" logo), poor soldering.

                  Secondly, I install a new M96T36 and the problem I have is a brief display of the "Nintendo" logo (no short circuit, no sure charge chip, no sure charge port, no sure charge management chip percentage)....
