Question about flex cables/ribbons
Question about flex cables/ribbons
Do you think the pitch works well for these connectors? I'm trying to use them on a trackpad, but whenever I plug them in, the laptop won't start and nothing shows up. Could using the incorrect connectors cause problems when booting a laptop, even if it's just for a trackpad? I have a 4 and 6 pin setup, but I'm not sure if the pitch is correct. The 4 pin is about 1mm and the 6 pin is 0.5mm, right?
It seems the ideal connector should be 1mm. I understand the machine will start with or without the keyboard ribbon plugged in, but using the two provided doesn't work. Even testing just one didn't help. If I ensure the correct connectors are used, I should be able to reconnect the trackpad again.
I need to capture another photo of TP-L, though visibility seems a bit poor. It slides in and the clips secure it. The issue is that I’ve discarded the old ribbons, making it hard to compare. >_< I think this one is type A...? Shouldn’t I just insert it upside down...? With these, I placed them facing the blue side up.
