[QUOTE="jarance, post: 405998, member: 21"] What I meant was that you [B][U]can[/U][/B] really buy the ribbon locally. my friend 520i was also having the pixel problem. Was working and playing with it about a few years back. Found that the ribbon was damaged (hairline crack on the ribbon). Could not do any thing at that time to repair it. I knew it was the ribbon because when I move the ribbon by bending, some of the pixel came back. Broken track can be repaired by using conductive paint (apply like a fine marker pen). I have used it before for PCB repair. However for ribbon cable, the track is too close to each other. [/QUOTE]
