    I need a single part from the keyboard assembly, its the ribbon cable connecting the whole thing to the motherboard, part number 1-877-129-11. Most stores online are asking $90+ for it, which seems kind of ridiculous to me.

    This is the part.

    I do, but parting it out for a sub-$90 cable isn't in the cards

    you could part it out for everything and just start with my cord. The keyboard and touchpad should get at least 100 more, screen could be another 150+, and then there's the actual components. This is if it's truly busted. Better then getting 200 for the thing as a whole as ebay seems to be going. I could help you take it apart even, over Skype or something.

    My next option is buying a busted 5xx on ebay just for the cord and then parting the rest out.
