I was repairing my tv and I accidentally ripped a ribbon cable...on it says SUMITOMO-M AWM 2896 80C VW-1 -F- It is white with 40 pins and is about 20mm wide and 120mm long...It came from a Mitsubishi WD-52525 DLP Tv...does anyone know where I can buy one of these cables?

I checked e-bay and found nothing...and the only thing I could find on google was a company selling it in bulk...

Please help!

I actually found an identical cable at Digikey.com....I gave them a call, and they were able to help me out right away!

btw...I bought 5 of these cables...Digikey.com part number HFF-40U-03-ND
http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/35548-cable-flat-flex-40pos-0-5mm-3-050r40-76b.html

I just hope it really is the identical replacement for my cable....well see...

Thanks Again,
Paul

I just wanted to post an update on these cables that I bought from Digikey....they are a bit shorter than I expected...they are NOT the exact length of the white ribbon cables in my chassis...luckily there is one ribbon cable that does not need to be as long as the others, and one of the replacement cables that I bought will fit there nicely...if anyone needs these cables...call Digikey and talk to a sales rep, they will get you the right part...
