Hello, the ribbon holder was cracked and broken, now I dont know how I can hold it there...
Anyone can suggest some option?
Or should I just buy new connector replacement?
Where to buy that? How it is called?
I just need the plastic which will insert the ribbon into the socket, do u know how its called exactly?
Because I need to buy it from somewhere else asap not from amazon
Description:1.These PCB circuit board adapters for FPC/FFC IC package with exposed pad2. FPC is finding wide acceptance in the computer industry,particularly in such applications as Lap Top, Palm Top and Note Pad.3.This is 0.5mm pitch FPC connector extend adapter for make longer...

Or one of these from Farnell appears to be a suitable replacement for the whole connector:
Double check that yours is 0.5mm pitch - the only connectors with similar appearance all are, but still verify it.
Also the the cable/plug fits with the contacts on top?
There are styles of this generic type that can have contacts on top or underneath the flex plug..
I dont understand im not an expert..
also I dont know how i can measure that small size half of milimeter.. but I think its 0.5, maybe even less , can you just give me link to all posibilitties so I can order one from each and try it?
Here is a video if you need.
There are thousands of types that could be a suitable one, without knowing the exact details.
From the video, it has bottom contacts; that halves the possible types.
The "plug" part is also a relatively thick circuit board, rather than a paper-thin flex cable end - that is quite rare and most common types (like in your links) would not take it.
To measure the pitch, put a ruler across the plug and see if alternate contacts line up exactly with millimetre marks, over the full length - so 2.5mm centres over the outer two?
I cannot find that exact type anywhere from the big distributers.
The little "extension board" with two of what appear to be the exact same connector is readily available from multiple sources - just get that from whichever place suits you best.
It's definitely not the exact same connector; the latch is at the opposite side to the cable entry and the surface mount solder points are under the body, rather than exposed at the back.
The original looks to be a "drawer" style latch, that has a straight pull-push action, rather than a lift-up type.
Looking at the various photos on that page, it does look to have a hinge-up style latch rather than a slide style one; none of the other photos I found showed one "open", the way that does.
