Subject: Any Info On How To Fix The Connecting Ribbon Cable For The Left Side Buttons?

From: "kornelious23" <kornelious23@...>

Sorry for the long title, couldn't think of something shorter at the
moment.

My left side buttons aren't working. I've found out that this is a
common problem with this board. I thought it was the buttons
themselves and went out to find any place that has replacement
buttons. I then realized, when I had the board open, that the thin,
clear, flat-circuitry like ribbon cable, connecting the two control
panels was broke. Both might be broke,(or split from being too
brittle), but I know at least the smaller one is for now. Does anyone
have any ideas on where to start with this. I went to a local
electronics store but they couldn't do anything because they said it
was OEM/propietary and they wouldn't have the parts. I was about to
start calling some flat-circuitry places around here but then thought
I would try the forum first. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
for your time. Kris.
