        Hello Chris….

        There are no really good substitute for the solder-in-ribbon-cables.

        The space is very limited if you want a detachable connector. It simply stacks to high.

        I have done a solution where I solder the normal flat-cable in the mainboard and pin-rows in the mainboard. The plastic most likey has to be removed on the pin-row, and pins cut down.

        On the Flatribbon cable from the mainboard I then solder on a female-header like this RS type : 681-6826

        RS components also have the oldschool-flatribbon cable : 241-1356

        Really the NB should have been made with IDC connectors from the start, instead of single row headers.

        Ribbon cable for NB mainboard and A-Keyboard

        Best regards

        Michael
