4:10 I was very horrified at this point. When I tried to put this particular ribbon back in again, the blue tape broke off and the copper wires began to fray off the ribbon as I tried to put the ribbon back in again. I thought it was for the keyboard but thankfully, this ribbon is for the indicator lights and power button. I had to cut the ribbon as straight as I could with a pair of nail scissors so that only 1mm of exposed copper was left on the ribbon (which won't fray) and then put it back in. No indicator lights but it powered up and powered down fine, so I taped it down with gaffer tape to prevent it from moving out of the retainer. So far it's working.

I'm having an issue with the same part. It's totally destroyed and I even took a ribbon from an old flat screen and it fit. Still won't power on. Any suggestions? It was working one minute the just decided to poop. I took out the ribbon and the connection was totally severed. The ribbon is no good. I have sunk 100s to build this machine one part at a time. Know a way to pop this power without the ribbon?

GPU is soldered on the motherboard and you can't change it. For the processor just unscrew the heatsink and it's there. Just make sure to apply thermal paste before you put them back together.

It is best to stick with name brands like Samsung, Micron, or Hynix. On this model it is easy to replace the SATA hard drive so I would go for a SATA SSD in whatever capacity you need. Here's a 500GB Micron for $54.95 www.ebay.com/itm/332646882994 Thanks for watching!
