    Hi,

    I am in need of HAMBURG-W E235863 AWM 20798 80C 60V VW-1 flex cable that connects from the media board to the mainboard. It looks to be a 16pin cable and I can't find it anywhere. Dell will not sell me one either. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!

    I am in the US. Thanks for the link but the pictures don't show how many pins are on the cable. The cable looks to be about 8mm wide and about 54mm long. Thanks for your help

    I went through a month ago. This cable does not have a Dell part number and is not in their system. Every parts reseller or cable dealer I spoke with either responed with dead silence and "Oh " or intense laughter. You will not be able to get this part unless you luck up and get a used one. Your only viable option is to send the unit back to Dell's repair depot and let them replace it. I order the cable you seek from Hamburg and its not the same one.
