Help broke the HDD tab on my M18X R1

[momo25]

Hello everyone!

 

Just finished repairing, cleaning and restoring my M18X. When I put it back together I broke the little tab on the HDD ribbon cable. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Couldnt find the part number or anything similar. 

 

Thanks in advance!

If McGuyver was here he'd use some duct tape...or electrical tape will do.

If you have micro soldering skills you could just replace the entire FFC clamp but its a pain. 

Last resort I guess would be hot glue...but personally I'd try more tape first.

 

Bonne chance

I somehow got it to hold now... it's pretty unfortunate since i wanted to sell it and before I was finished cleaning it that thing broke
