    Broken ribon cable connector in 42" Plasma TV

    Sort of a general question... not sure it belongs here.

    While troubleshooting a 42" Plasma TV I accidentally broke one of the ribbon cable connectors on one of the x buffer/driver boards.

    The connector itself is damaged as well as the latch.

    What I'm trying to figure out is how to fix this. I'm not sure what this connector is called exactly so I'm having trouble finding a replacement.

    Attached a pic of the main control board with one of the same kinds of connectors circled in red.

      You might be able to put the connector like it should be and try hot glue to hold it in place.

          Seems the latch (flip locking thingy) applies some downward pressure on the cable in order to force a better connection. I've tried a couple of different ways to ghetto rig it and nothing is working well enough...

          anyways, I stumbled across a service manual for this TV and according to the parts list, the connector is a 50 pin ribbon cable connector with a .5mm pitch.

          Found this at digikey... I think its what I'm looking for:

          Now comes the fun part... I've removed and replaced a few small smd components here and there, but nothing like this.

                  I didn't know they even sell parts like that, but I wish you luck on replacing it.

                      Problem

                      This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                      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...

                      Hi to all. I was wondering if anyone here got some parts for NV-V8000 vcr maybe. I am searching the whole internet and just can't find any parts for the old tank

                      I got two cables broken on the connector side, one has broken small plastic part that I assume from factory because I was the first one to open it, and it look like that, don't make some difference in work except aesthetic. But other connector on wire got broken wire off the connector.Connector was in very bad condition just like the whole vcr I restore all other parts only that connector got weak plastic duo to nicotine...

                      by emeskay
                      We have an Lenovo Yoga 710 15ISK that we use as a secondary laptop. To cut a long story short, around May 2023, while traveling, I connected the laptop into an electrical outlet that was already switched on. Something made a "pfft" sound and the laptop refused to turn on after that. After getting back home, I gave the the laptop for repair to an informal repair person. He replaced the adapter and an internal motherboard part, but after he returned it I noticed that the LCD did not look normal. Essentially, every alternate horizontal line on the screen had gone missing. The laptop was...
