Samsung cable replacement

[Gingerbeer]

Lo all,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction...

I'm looking for a replacement cable from a Samsung SM 226BW - it's the ribbon that connects the logic board to the panel. The connector that plugs into the panel came apart. I might be able to fix it, but I wouldn't mind knowing if there's anywhere that sells them.

I'm assuming they aren't proprietary components, having seen similarly styled ones in other monitors.

I appreciate any help or advice you can give me.

Regards

I've got a FUBAR'd Samsung 203BW here. If the connectors are the same, I could send it to you if you can't find it locally or something.
The panel-side connector fits perfectly into my scrap 22" 1680x1050 panels. The other end is what I don't know if it's the same. It's just a flat flex and on the controller board there's one of those weird flip-open-to-release connectors.

Sorry about the delay...

This is the one - the connector on the right side, keeps falling to bits. I can't test it until my replacement power board arrives next week (the original board is completely banjaxed), but I don't trust it at all.



The ribbon measures 30mm wide and is approx 175mm long.

Scenic, the other side of the left end looks identical to your first pic.

Re: Samsung cable replacement

My replacement power board has just arrived, and the 820u caps on it are labelled "VOE", with a small brand logo that looks like it says "samwha", and a smaller cap is branded "Sam Young". I'll try and photograph them when I get home - my iphone is terrible for macro shots (unsurprisingly).

Never heard of those before, but I think I have a bunch of Rubycon caps in the spares cupboard. Is it worthwhile replacing them?

[edit] found the website http://www.samwha.com/capacitor/
