Hi everyone, I feel a bit of a n00b but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to connect the LVCD cable to the connector board. Typically there is a lever or other mechanism but not here it seems (picture below). I don’t want to damage the connector. Any help appreciated! Best, Egon ![IMG_5825](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/8/851143c69d437a2e06c4da0ae1babfebcb1e95bd.jpeg) ---

not 100% sure but i think you just gently with your finger nails pull/slide this straight forward and the cable goes in under the clip.then push the clip back in ,gently when working with those clips , ![lvcds connector](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/f/fe1d768b4446ee04662af3edfa7e9f9359b76568.jpeg) ---

I seem to have broken my connector. Does anyone know if Pimoroni sells the board separately? Thanks for any help! ---

Pimoroni sell replacement screens, including the controller board > **[HDMI 10" LCD Screen Kit (1024x768) – Pimoroni](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/hdmi-10-lcd-screen-kit-1024x768)** > > We use this 10" screen (1024x768) in our 10" Picade, and this screen kit with Pimoroni-made display driver board and keypad is great for DIY arcade builds, or to upgrade your older Picade (pre-2018) to a larger display. They don’t sell the board on its own though. However, if you email their support ([support@pimoroni.com](mailto:support@pimoroni.com)) then they might be able to sell you one separately. ---

If it just the clip,I have done that a few time over the years ,my fix was hot glue ,put the ribbon cable in and a few dabs of hot glue on both sides of the clip only ---

That sounds like a good idea, was going to suggest something like that! 😀
