Searching for a Part

[Gruman84]

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I have the Asus X555L laptop and when upgrading the HDD to an SSD I tore the small ribbon cable that goes to my trackpad and damaged it.  Now the trackpad doesnt work and I think I just need a new cable.  I cant seem to fin one available to buy online and was wondering if anybody has a good go-to place for very small things like this or am I just going to find one from a dead laptop? 

 

BTW, first post here, excited to be part of the forum.  Let me know if I can give any more information that would be helpful.

 

Thanks!!

Yes, thank you!  I actually only need the little ribbon cable that is on it but Ive got it ordered anyway.

 

Thank you for your help!

Absolutely

I looked about for just the ribbon but couldn't find it, that was the cheapest I could find.

Good luck

I found this but I'm not sure if it would have worked.  It didnt list the model of my laptop,
