My ribbon cable connecting the top-deck to the mainboard is busted (See cracks in the copper connection pads):

Cautionary tale

I thought I was being careful, but evidently not. treat the ribbon cable at the top-deck side particularly delicately

“Anyone have a spare”

I imagine this is the sort of thing someone might have a spare or two lying around. If you have a working ribbon cable collecting dust on a shelf somewhere, I would gladly take it off your hands.

I asked a moderator, and they said it was okay to make this post, as well to offer to pay for shipping.

I didn’t mention it in post, but I’d prefer to take an unused cable off someones hands, than buy a new one, as that will reduce waste overall.
