I have a Toshiba Satellitle laptop computer that i had just laying around and decided to see if i could repair itsvideo problem that it had.
When i exposed the motherboard outside of the laptop casing, the ribbon cable for the keyboard came off suddenly. The tape on the ribbon is nowhere near helpful enough to squeeze the ribbon back into the female connector.
im worried that with any more pressure the cable contacts will begin to bend or become worn.
is there a proper way of inserting a ribbon cable the safe way when it has no tape reinforcement / grip? Is there a proper tool that can grip and wont puncture the ribbon cablr itself as i use it to grip the ribbon and install it into the connector?
and its one of those tight fit ribbons where the length is "just enough", and it has to be angled towards me to be put back into the connector but its a really really tight fit
