Laptop Monitor cable

Maybe you could find the replacement part number of the LCD cable and order another one from HP, then splice the two together.
Here's an eBay auction of someone selling a handful of those cables from various laptops, but they might not have the same type you need: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220141616786

Thanks I'll check it out.  Do you think splicing it would mess up the signal though?

gonzojoey:

I have no idea ???
I've never tried to splice a flat ribbon cable before. I wouldn't try it your only cable just in case it doesn't work.
;) Better safe than sorry.

get a close up pic of it, I have some laptops thats have brokern LCD but working machines. Maybe the cable is the same and the connector, I'll see if I can pry it off too.
