Hi, I'm looking for a flex cable (or zif? I don't really know what type of cable it is, but I have supplied pictures [see below]) and I cant find it, can you help me find one that will work for my laptop (HP HDX16 1370US)? I need it for my media control dash above the keyboard, in the pictures below is the cable that was already in there but it has worn to not be able to function. If you need any more info, I will supply what info I can give.

I don't need to test the cable, on one side, the connector is hanging only from the plastic to the cable and no conductive material makes it to the rest of the cable

I'm looking for a ribbon cable for the touch keys above the keyboard (volume and tone control, playback control), which is a 9 pin cable.

I found what I had to do to get the cable, I am gonna have to buy a whole Keyboard Switch Cover to get the cable, thankfully they are pretty cheap. Thank you for your help!
