Black plastic computer ribbon holder? What are they called?
When I disassembled my laptop to replace the power jack, I broke a couple of black plastic pieces that hold down various ribbons on the motherboard, ie for the keyboard, touchpad, etc. They kind of lift up on a hinge to allow you to pull the ribbons out. Mine were brittle and broke, so now I have no sound or keyboard, because the ribbons aren't making solid contact without the black plastic things there holding the ribbon down.
What are these things called? And where can I get them (if possible)? Thanks!
They aren't cable ties. They kind of clamp the ribbon down so that the metal teeth on the ribbon make contact with the connector on the motherboard. They lift up with a hinge-like action to allow you to pull the ribbon out.
