Ribbon cable severed!

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Ribbon cable severed!

Post by atkafighter »

Hi on my lcd one of thin brown colored ribbon cables tore a little bit and severed 3 leads (im guessing the cable is sort of like a flexible pcb). Now I can't get video unless i try really hard to reconnect the leads. Is there a way to fix this? I dont think I would be able to solder to the lcd for two reasons: First, the part is so tiny, and second, the leads don't go straight from the board to the lcd(they do some crazy patterns before going into the lcd). Any suggestions?
Thanks
