dude life saver ngl.. my ps4 ribbon cable broke and i needed to buy a new controller or a new cable. this method saved me some money

Thank you so much for your video! It saved me money and time while trying to make my Toyota Corolla E12 a/c control panel to work. Finding the exact replacement for the existing FFC was kind of a puzzle but as soon as I watched your video I thought I'd give it a try. Half an hour and a couple of attempts later it worked and I'm very happy! Thanks again and all the best to you my friend!

A tip, you can use a thin Diamond file or sand paper to exposed the copper instead and it works well if you place a card under it to raise that section while wearing away the casing

Just want to say thank you for this video. You helped me repair an old AC unit.

Man you put a smile on my face when I was trying to fix my harman kardon go play thinking it was dead. I fixed the broken cable with a cutter and my speaker was alive again, thank you!

You saved me time money and restore the original .. thank you love you

Thank you man, brilliant 👍 i started to search on ebay already but you saved my time and money.

Just managed to repair a 40pin cable thanks to your video. 😎

Extremely helpful! Thank you!

Thank youuu soo muchhh, can’t believe this actually worked om my Ps4 controller’s ribbon cable

Very helpful. Idk if I can pull it off though, but I'm gonna try

Great video mate! Thank you

Thank You, very helpful video! a flex cable, ( i called it a ribbon cable!) in my epson scanner was partly cut when the hinge broke, so it looks like i can adapt your method to join the cut wires as it only cut the first 2. thanks again!

Life saving video! Thank you so much!

this was a life saver thanks for the video.

excellent tutorial video mate. Legend!

this saved my phone. thanks. very helpful

Thanks! There is hope now :)

Had to repair a ribbon cable on a Roland D70, thanks for this....

You saved my day :) Got your new subscriber

Is there any way to fix this kind of ribbon cable if the trace or the wire or whatever it is... the spine is completely pulled out of the plastic housing only one row. Somehow mine pulled out almost like a thread but it's still somewhat connected on both ends just loose

Thanks for the tips man..

Thank you so much

Saved me a lot of time

Thanks dude ❤️🙏

Hmm any tips to fix a flat cable that has been sliced?

I found it much easier to melt the insulation with a knife blade on a soldering iron and then scrape and tin, just have to be careful of fumes as I suspect it is PVC.

Great video. The blue ends on both sides of my connector have cut off, so I can't see any exposed cable, it is a 5mm width Sumitomo-G AVM 20624 80c 60v VW-1 -F- 4 pin cable, can I just buy another off Ebay or are they specific to each device ? Also what does Forward or Reverse mean when buying the cables and what is the pitch ? I have no idea what mine is. Also are both ends of the cables the same or do I need to make sure I keep the broken off blue connector end from the bottom of the cable as always the bottom one or are they interchangeable ? Thanks again.

Thanks you ❤️

Sir I know this is off topic but you just seem like you have amazing stories to tell

Quanti contatti o pin ha il cavo piatto che collega il display frontale della stampante HP ENVY 120 ? GRAZIE

Tqs sir 🙏

Thanks dude

Thanks so much for sharing video.

Actually i already doing this b4 watching this video, not that easy since the strip is can easily lifted if u miss the connector,3rd attempt finally worked

brooo you save mylifeee

Genius!

this is my type of asmr

Sorry what I meant to say was how do you go about what you're doing in your video but with a ribbon cable that has a tapered end that plugs into the connector, it's a different size so I can't really cut it or else it will be a different shape pretty much where the gold plates are

you're a lifesaver!!! thanks so much

would you kindly sell this cable to Kenya, like every technician does not even know/understand this cable

omg life saver

nice, but what is the best way of repairing, when you've got carbon tracks? ...you can't solder them

Nice but it's not so easy with relatively narrow cables. I failed to strip plastics on one end of 6 mm laptop ffc. The wires are much thin and can easily breaking. But thanks, anyway.

Nice video, but man, you could have been a hand model...Lol

Nice informative video. Is there any way to connect a 26 pin ribbon cable to the board having flex cable connector (for the use of flex cables like in the video)? Please help. Actually the board with ribbon cable connector on it, is not manufactured nowadays, so want to use new board having thin flex cable connector on it. Is there any adapter available?

Hi Super random question I had to repair a 6 wire ribbon cable for my ps3 power buttton but some of the copper wire further down is also exposed the part that does not go inside the slot is this bad or would it be fine to use and does it matter what rotation the flex cable goes in>

please answer me can you cut it lengthwise because i need 13pin one and i only found 20 pin ones can i cut it to make it 13 pins

Is it work for my laptops touchpad cable? Plz reply fast

Well explained !!! 5 *****

damn here i was about to buy a whole new laptop

So I took off my blue thing on the ribbon cable but I rlly don’t know how I’m gonna put it back do I just use glue to put it back or anyone suggest a method that worked for them

Is there any repair if the blue or red pins break or ripped off accidentaly?

How to know if flex cable has tiny wires broken, can they be visually inspected?

I wonder if WD-40 is good or not to easier assemble it to the connector.

A shaving razor did the job for me

There was hope😭 But still not working 😔

Mine is from a laptop power button I over bent it and got broken, what happens if I just solder it all together, or is there any way to splice it to bring the two piece back together?

can I cut it to less pins?

How to cut the cable 24 pin to 18pin (FFCble ) bro

unfortunately this won't work... when pushed back into a socket, the ends will be damaged again.

Lol I tried this I scratched one end all the down to the next cause it keeps fucking spoiling XD ffs

Very bad practices. Not to be recommended. There are far better instructional vids on YT about adaptation and configuration of FFCs. But if you can, just replace the cable. I doesn't cost the world.

Thank you! Would have gotten a like from me if it wasn’t for the constant lip smacking.

I couldn't get through the first minute!! The sound of the incessant lip smacking each time he swallows the globs of snot that he's constantly snorting into his throat is fucking disgusting & unbearable!! 🤢🤢🤢 🤮🤮🤮 Consider getting a thicker cover (or ANY cover) for your microphone!!! It will reduce the amount of bodily fluids we have to listen to as you discharge them!! You might as well make videos while sitting on a toilet in a public restroom... that would be much less offensive to your audience!!!!! 😷😷😷 🤫🤫🤫
