    Anyone know where one can order individual FFC cables?

    0.5mm pitch
    8 conductors
    102mm length
    Stiffeners and pins on opposite sides

    My only two sources for a single FFC cable of these specs is AsusParts.eu (too much to ship internationally) and ASUS repair facility (too much to have them repair it). It's literally an $0.08 part, and I would rather not spend $50 if possible.

    The ribbon connects the front SD card reader to the motherboard. It broke right at the fold (probably got snagged on the opening under the keyboard during disassembly).

    Any suggestions?
