Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hi all, This is my first post here, great ressources!
But I find nothing about my pad problem!

I got the 4th pad row that doesn't work. Try to disconnect, reconnect the FFC (Flat flex cable) ...
The only way to get it work is to push on the connector on the PCB where the 4 pad connection.
I know that my ''Pad sensor'' are good, I don't want to change it.

I want to know if someone have ever changed this connector on his MPC 2000 (XL) PCB and where to find this particular part. I found many shape on the net, but not like the one in the MPC.

I'll try to resolder it for now to see if this could work, but i'll like to be able to buy one!

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like it might be a broken solder connection on the PCB.

having this exact problem, but i know for a fact now that the actual connector piece is ****.
i'm hoping to find a replacement part but the chances are slim.

I cant believe no one has shed some light on this.
I bet a lot of 'pad replacements' have went wrong due to a bad flat cable connector
