For Sale: Newly Manufactured Pandora Screen Ribbon Cables

[kaybarkbark]

The ribbon cable in my Pandora ripped so I put in an order with JLCPCB to get some more made. Minimum order was five though, so I have three left over (keeping one as backup). Selling them at-cost, $50 each plus shipping. I will ship overseas, located in the US.

To be fully transparent, the end that fits into the connector on the Pandora mainboard is a little tight. I think it's maybe .2mm or .4mm too thick. It does work though, and I am able to secure it in place with the clasp (several times in fact, took me multiple re-assemblies to get it all working). It's just a little tighter than stock.

Well. That makes me feel like an idiot. Could have saved myself some money instead of doing a whole run.

Oh, that was not at all my intention. I mentioned that just in case someone from Europe wants to order there, but from the US your offer could be easier/faster. But I am sure you have learned a lot about PCB design (I know such flex cables are challenging) for different projects.

Nice work though.
Always good to fix a Pandora
