[MOD] Cover Painting - And some little help!

Hello Again guys!

Here's some pics from my mod on the cover m15x.
Painted with spray for metals.





@edit why thumbnail are broken? Can you see img if click ?


And need some help, when i was disassemble the cover to paint i accidentally broke the ribbon flat cable from POWER button and TOUCH PAD!(was a old cable) And now its extremly hard to turn on and impossible to make my GPU work well because i need stealth button to unlock 400 / 400mhz so i need to know where to find and what is the correct flat cable to buy.

I already did a search in internet for this cable but there is alot of different cable with exactly same model AWM20798 E235863, how many pins are there?

 

Very nice work with the paint! Nice color too!

For the ribbon cable, it is very easy to damage those pins. I must have changed mine at least 3 times over the years. You can order a replacement cable. It needs to be a 16 pin cable with pins of the same side, a .5mm pin pitch (space between each pin) and a length of around 10cm.

Here's a link to the correct cable. I've ordered from this seller in the past and they are very good.

In the meantime, if you can't turn on the laptop, you can use the touchpad ribbon cable. It is longer than the power board cable, but it has the same number of pins and same pin pitch so it will work in the meantime while you wait for the new cable to arrive. You might want to order more than one cable so you always have a backup.

 

please some one ! There's any way to turn m17x or m15x on without this ribbon cable ? On desktop i used to use a screwdrive in jumpers and turn it on. So i think maybe there's a way with alienwares notebook

 

M17x R2 has a button above second connector to the screen that can be used to turn it on, but M15x as far as i know doesnt have any option to turn on without the power cable ribbon.
