Need some help from the geeky kids!

Post by Demannu »

I'm after a bit, best described as a ribbon clip. Ie I have a display ribbon going to a motherboard, and fudge fingers has broken the clip!
Any idea as to their official title, and more importantly, where can I get some.
It's not a computer btw, think more satnav/electronic speedo size.

You've broken the fold down clamp part on the FPC connector?
