    When I was installing maintenance kit, the replacement of fuser
    unit required disassembly of many parts. I accidently caused 4
    circuit flat ribbon cable on display unit to break and there is no part
    number listed in manual for it and I don't want to purchase display
    unit to get cable.

    I have in the meantime ordered 2 4 circuit cables that are 6" long
    from Digikey and am hoping that one of them will do the job. I have
    done that with them on an HP machine once.

    I also have few 8 circuit cables and wasn't sure whether to try cutting
    one in half and trying that

    Your input is value. Frank

      Your last option should work fine, that is cutting the 8 pin cable in half. when you install it, take your meter and check that the that flat cable you install is not shorted at the connector and that should work fine and as long as the cable fits securely into the connector. Also the width of the cable should be approximately the same size.

        So you broke the brown flat ribbon cable. This part is not available separately. Looking at the manual, the steps to remove the fuser is rediculous. You have to remove entire scanner assy and more. This is why, with lexmark, you have to read the assy and disassembly instructions or you break things or install them incorrectly, especially the covers. Have said this many time here before.

        Hey frank, see you into stocks. Any tips ?.
