#1: dash lcd ribbon cable disconnected Author: Phr333k, Location: CroatiaPosted: Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:52 am ---- Hello,
I managed to get my dash LCD ribbon cable disconnected from the dash motherboard. It doesn't have any connector to reconnect it back. I tried sticking it back with a piece of tape, but the LCD won't work without me pressing it really hard. Is there an easy way to reconnect the ribbon cable ?
Tnx

the early 206 clocks to me are abit of a poor design, ive had two sets of clocks now one set the rev counter had packed up and the other the lcd ribbon had come off.
got a set now that work ok. i believe the multi-plex clocks are pretty good but wont fit the early 206s.

As Rick says, heat will melt the plastic carrier film.
Maybe conductive glue, a very small dab on each conductor, tape to fix in place - probably one piece a bit 'up-stream' to fix it in place and secure placement before adding the glue to prevent smearing, then lift end slightly to apply glue and then add another piece of tape to hold the end down while curing.
Haven't tried it myself, but I believe it could work (as long as one has reasonable access to the spot)
