Ok, my sons kobo arcs usb2 socket(within the kobo) has bitten the dust.
I've had it apart and the ribbon cable and become detatched from the socket.
The ribbon connects to the motherboard with a pushfit surface mount socket....anyone know where I can purchase a replacement USB2 ribbon cable type thing....thanks

Usual suspects are RS Components and Farnell. The Man Shop (Maplin) might do them too.

+1 for RS

Bearing in mind that RS stands for Really 'spensive.

CPC, Digikey and Mouser are three other possibilities. Ebay might be worth a shot.

Send me a photo of it. Might well have one in my box of assorted PC components.

If so you 're more than welcome to it.
