Hi - I am trying to fix one of these – and the guy I bought it from pulled off and lost the black locking latch from the ribbon cable rather than just lifting it – I can get the LCD screen to light but can’t keep it on very long – I bought another one of these internal cables with the black locking latch. Do you think I can pop that one off and move it to this one? Or do you have any source of instructions how to replace that cable?

Cheers and thanks for this!

PS – If anyone is just trying to get rid of the dreaded bubbles in the screen saver that plagues these NEX cameras – it does just peal off – see youtubes,,,
