    Ok so.. long story short.. when i was putting my R1 back together one time I broke off the little latch on the connector for the ribbon cable that plugs the whole top bar (power button and LED touch buttons) into the mobo. I was able to turn it on by holding the cable in the slot and pressing the button, but eventually the cable got messed up from doing this and i could no longer turn my R1 on. Ive been able to locate a replacement button bar online, but it doesnt say if it comes with the ribbon cable or not and I havent been able to find just the cable itself.

    Does anyone know where I can get the parts that I need to get my R1 working again?
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
