Powerbook 540c Floppy Drive Ribbon Cable
Posted by: Iesca on 2018-09-09 01:19:46
Hey all,

I really donked up. 🙁

I tore the ribbon cable from my Powerbook 540's floppy disk drive. At first it was just a partial tear, which I attempted to address with clear tape, but when that didn't work I managed to completely tear it in two. Short of replacing it, is there any way to repair a ribbon cable like this?

Turns out I was able to find a replacement on good ol' ebay:
