small black flip up and down cable connector which locks cable in place (plastic) broken . I am replacing cable can I tape in place in lieu of trying to get the connector to work? Thanks in advance, Rich Update (06/19/2022)
This is the small plastic clip that secures the cable on each end Sorry had a problem with the photo. As you can see the fastener is tiny and was wondering if I could buy another or tape the cable in place. Thanks!
Here’s the trackpad connector Trackpad Flex Connector I would order a few just in case! You might be able to carefully unsnap the latch hinge pins on each side by carefully bowing the latch piece. Then you can do the same with the part to then snap into the logic board connector. If you’ve damaged the lower part of the connector you’ll need to desolder the old one and then solder on the new one. This is a bit tricky! So unless you’ve soldered logic boards before its best to let someone with the deeper skills do it for you.
