[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1172212, member: 181804"] Possibly a torn ribbon cable, but more likely the cable isn't seated fully on the connector. These connections are notorious for breaking off little pieces of plastic inside the board connector, blocking the ribbon from plugging in. Removing these bits of plastic is a challenge... I find a very fine point xacto knife will work eventually, but fishing it out is worse than a game of Operation. [/QUOTE]
