ASUS Eee PC 1001PX Hard Drive Replacement
Hi guys, firstly I would like to thank who did that guide. It's wonderful. Unfortunately, I didn't find that one before trying it. So, I damaged that flat cable that connects the touchpad on motherboard. The link below is the picture of the damaged cable.
What could I do to repair the damage? If the solution is purchase another cable, what's it?
Many thanks
Is this a good question?

Hi Diego,
I recently uploaded my repair guide on how to replace the DC jack power (charging socket) on an ASUS 1001PX which also includes the removal of the upper unit/touch pad. You will find it here: ASUS Eee PC 1001PX Charging Socket Replacement
What is actually needed in your case is a 12 pin flat ribbon cable which you easily find online, for example:

For sure, you can also buy the entire touch pad unit, for example, here: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R4...
However, if you only need the flat ribbon cable, I suggest that you buy a single ribbon cable that is as long as your old one is and just fold it the way you need it. This should do the job!

Hi Steffen,
Thank you for the answer, but to buy it by the eBay for who lives in Brazil is more difficult and the sellers don't put more specific data about.
Recently, I took a common ruler and measured the cable width. The picture shows it:

I knew it has 12-pin, but I need to find the pitch measuring because on the internet (Aliexpress website) I found more than one pitch measuring, but I think it would be 0.5mm, don't you?
Best regards
