was installing a new touch screen on my nintendo ds lite and broke the p6 connector on the motherboard.
can anyone tell me if i can purchase a new one and if so where, or is it a motherboard??

I think the Digikey part number FH19C-4S-0.5SH(25)CT-ND doesn't fit.
the molex BackFlip™ 501461 is a better choice

its the smaller of the 2 ribbon connectors from the top screen
very easy th snap the clip if you do( like me) i used SNEWOS instructions and used a small piece of plastic cut to the same size and pushed it in on top of the ribbon cable to press down on the ribbon and make contact saves all the bother of trying to fit a new connector and works fine

For the DIY repair person (major soldering skill required), here's where to find the lowest cost P6 connector I've seen so far ($1 ea/$2 ship):

Digikey charges $27,95 shipping costs for the connector ...Nice )o:

Thanks snewo for the clear answer. I had the same problem but I've just made two sharp bents in the cable so that it stays in the connector while still having a little pressure downwards to make contact.
That worked fine for me.

The ds lite touch screen connector is Digikey part number FH19C-4S-0.5SH(25)CT-ND. Im tired of people making ridiculous profits off these parts, so im gonna post part numbers everywhere i can.

Here's the deal, that little black connector is super fragile. I've broken 2 so far, one because I didn't know how to open it and one trying to move the black piece from a broken MoBo to a good one with a broken black thingy. I have a way to get your unit working, but keep in mind that it's a little ghetto.

Step 1: Find a stiff piece of thin plastic around your house somewhere. I used my plastic super market "bonus card" that fits on my keyring.

Step 2: Sharpen the plastic to a gradual point on one edge with sandpaper. I used a wheel grinder because it was easier.

Step 3: Cut a rectangle who's width is the same size as the ribbon cable that plugs into the connector. Make it long enough to be able to grab it with tweezers and manipulate it.

Step 4: Put it in the connector (thin side first) where the ribbon cable goes and make sure it can fit and goes in as far as the cable.

Step 5: put the ribbon cable into the connector and then place the plastic sliver ABOVE the ribbon cable but still inside the same connector. This puts enough pressure on the cable to help it make contact.

My unit is working now, I hope this helps you.
