    After opening my K750J laptop for some upgrades I found the 2 ribbon cables which attach the power switch and touchpad to the motherboard quite flimsy and I damaged the end of one but I was able to fix it by cutting its edge by about 1/16”.
    I would like to purchase 2 similar ribbons in case I need them in the future and I wonder if anyone has a suggested place to purchase Asus parts in US / Canada. I know I can search on eBay etc. but the laptop is new and I prefer to purchase original parts
    Thanks

    Have you tried contacting ASUS directly? Because this is the only place to find parts.

    You may be stuck with sourcing the part you need from an individual seller, such as somebody on eBay or Amazon. The part you're looking for is very particular, though, so I think even then you'll have a very difficult time finding it.
