But it's really new, not anywhere, and HP doesn't even have it. Kind of annoying because although I can save all my things, I'm going to have to wait and reinstall everything on my SSD.
When you say "new" do you mean that it is a recently released product? If that is the case it will take time before spare parts are avaiable for purcahse due to being used in the production of notebooks.
The thin ribbon cable connectors are common in notebooks due to size constraints.
Have a good evening.
