Component search: Flex Cable connector on Pro Tools HD pcix core card

[Kris]

My pci-x Accel card recently came unseated and I began to get an error message when loading Pro Tools stating that my flex cable was damaged.

Well, I reseated the flex cable (where it connects to my core card) one time too many and damaged the connector on the core card that the flex cable plugs in to.

So now I have no way to connect my perfectly fine Accel card and am stuck running HD1.

Can anyone help me source this part so that I can try to fix my core card?

Thanks Craig.

It's actually not the flex cable I need. It's the component/port that the flex cable plugs into on my pcix core that I'm looking to source.

Try contacting Avid and send the card in for repair or try to find someone with a bad card that is willing to let it go for peanuts

Thanks digidesigner.

For now, I'm trying to avoid the $80 phone call without knowing what the repair fee might be on top of that and even if they would do it... If I can find the part I can just do it myself.

Also I believe it would be a real pain to try to extract this component from another card in one piece...

Did the connector just partially lift off the PCB
Send me pix, likely I can repair it for you
