Title:

iPad 2(3?) power/volume/mute flex difference?

Text:

I encountered a problem with a power/mute/volume flex cable repair of an iPad 2 WIFI.

I opened the iPad and discovered an iPad 2 digitizer, iPad 2 backcover, but some iPad 3-looking flexcables.

The flex cable is the one in the following picture:

As you can see it is different from the iPad 2 flex cable.

When I search on the internet, I cannot find this part anywhere. Does anyone have any suggestions where to get it, or some more info about the part?

Thanks
