GPD win (first one) LCD cable, where to buy?

[asimov-solensan]

My GPD win is developing PTOD like pandora. The LCD flickers and distorts color when I move the hinge.

I can find only GPD win 2 cables on internet. Is it the same for the original GPD win? Does anyone known of a manual or video explaining how to change it?

Thanks.

I've got two left, but yeah, they're different to the Win 2.

Thanks a lot. I just ordered the LCD cable for pandora som edays ago.

I didn't know this was a common problem on GPD win also.

So this happens also with the WIN 2 ?

All flex cables eventually break.
But yeah, the Win 2 seems to have issues here as well, as I'm selling quite a few of them.

I once managed to break (just plain wear) the aperture flex cable of a Canon EFS 17-85. Now if you need a challenge in life, replacing one of those (and getting everything to work again, no spare pieces or screws later...) is a nice one:

Not directly related to the LCD cable replacement but more general:

one end of the cable is removed in the pic above the comment "You also need to lift up the display cable to remove the motherboard."
the other end is visible on the last picture

Thanks. I checked a couple of videos where they explain how to replace the LCD and how to disassemble the whole thing. I will share here if I found something relevant during the operation.
