While tearing into the laptop to replace a power jack for a friend, I managed to break one of the ribbon cables. While this irritates me to no end, there's a first time for everything, I guess.
While the power jacks are abundant, I'm having an absolutely horrid time finding one of these little buggers. It's the ribbon cable that connects the touchpad logic board to the motherboard. It appears to be 18 pins, though they're really quite small and my eyes aren't quite as good as they used to be. The numbers I'm seeing on it:
AWM 2896 80C VW-1
It's about an inch in length (though, I really wish it would've been longer!). Here's a couple pictures.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find one of these guys? I tried E-Bay, but I didn't see anything that looked compatible at all.
Thanks in advance!
