Apple Macbook Air A1465 Ribbon Cable

[mark1978]

So I ordered a new ribbon cable which arrived today. It is not folded. You can see the original cable and how this was folded. Question is, is it Ok to fold it, how hard should the press be? Can I damage the cable is not folded properly. Any help is much appreciated. Mark

Yes go ahead. It's when you fold, unfold, fold the other way etc it breaks. Like bending a paperclip back and forth.
Fold once, it will be ok, don't squash it flat when you fold, be gentle...

Thank you, I will give it a go, I attempted to google this but can’t find anything but wanted some advice before I started folding it

the cables like that Ive bought in the past all came pre-folded . They were for Win notebooks though, not Macs
Is the cable a non-genuine part ? If you search that part number, do the genuine parts show as pre-folded

You really have any choice now anyway , unless you want to wait & buy again from somewhere else

At Piroska - It worked like a charm, and the Macbook Air is fully functional again!
