    Hi, unfortunately several days ago, some problems have occurred (or, I must say, they've gone worse) on my old Asus Zenbook UX51VZ, dated 2015.

    I would need to change a fpc cable which connects the logic board to the IO board. Problem is that this cable of this exact same Zenbook model is practically unavailable or discontinued everywhere.

    Since my knowledge of fpc cables get to a certain point only, I'd need a little help in understanding the type of cable and if there could be an equivalent one, may it be generic or coming from another similar Asus laptop.

    The cable is the following:

    Everything I know is that it's a 9.6 x 3 cm. I don't know exactly how many pins it has.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello;

    I have a Zenbook Touch U500VZ-CM058H including the IO board connection cable, reference: UX51VZ FPC Board rev2 which is HS.

    This tablecloth is "unavailable" in the Shop-Asus.

    I am looking for this tablecloth (new or used);

    Can you help me find this tablecloth;

    Thank you
