The only current source for replacement (at least new versions) eMate ribbon cables is Newton Sales (you’ll have to Google them, as I’m not comfortable posting a direct link to the their site on the list). The replacement cables are not cheap, but apparently they’re fairly well made. I can’t speak directly to their quality from my own experience, since I’ve never had to replace any of the ribbon cables in my eMates. Frank Gründel posted a review of the replacement cable several years ago: https://www.pda-soft.de/en/hardware/emate/ematecable/ematecable.html Another option is to find someone who has a dead eMate that you can salvage the parts from. g. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Grant Hutchinson NewtonTalk List Dad & Interweb Custodian ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://newtontalk.net/ http://twitter.com/newtontalk
