Gigabeat F40 - Bricked, HD ribbon cable
« on: January 13, 2008, 02:30:37 PM »
ok, so i took my gigabeat apart to find the battery because i was probably going to upgrade the battery to something bigger, but in my tinkering around it seems i snapped the brittle ribbon cable going to the hard drive, so its completely toast until i get another ribbon cable

does anybody know where i can find another ribbon cable, or does anybody have an old/bricked gigabeat f series that they would be willing to part with the HD cable out of it

On the IRC network freenode, join the channel #gigabeat, ask toffe82 if he has one he will sell you.

There's a guy that I got a new screen from in the US. Seemed reliable. I can PM you his email address if you don't have any luck.

I saw you pop into the channel - you should just ask your question, and leave an email address. The channel is logged so toffe will see your question whether he's there at the time or not.
