how to repair broken ribbon cable connector clip
« on: Tue, 08 July 2014, 00:09:03 »
so i recently took apart my laptop to clean it out cause it was heating up more than usual. i think the excess heat that was building up in the computer made some of the plastic brittle, because when i tried to unlatch the keyboards ribbon cable clip (the little white latch that secures the cable onto the motherboard) it just snapped effortlessly. pics are here http://www.insidemylaptop.com/disassemble-acer-aspire-7551g-laptop/ check step 9 and 10 for where im at. so now i cant reattach my keyboard. any tips on how to repair this? i read somewhere that hot glue would work. anyone here have any experience with this?
