Vizio Connector help

[HairyManBack]

I have a vizio vx32l hdtv10. I repaired the voltage regulator on this board. I was plugging the connectors in, and i bent the pins on one of the male smd connectors. Its coming from the main board to the back of the tv. I have some pictures included. I need to identify a connector like this to solder a new one on. I have some pictures included. It is a 30 pin, 1 row, rectangular, keyed at the bottom left and right corners connector.

Re: Vizio Connector help

Maybe a silly question but can I ask if you've tried bending them back? a pair of tweezers maybe...

That is an LVDS cable, perhaps ask someone who has stripped this TV for parts if they have it?

Re: Vizio Connector help

Yeah. I need the board connector, not the cable assembly. I might could find one on another board but desoldering those without breaking it will be hard.

Changing out the whole board would then be only remaining option.
