What are you trying to hook up with this ribbon cable?

You have to look to the cable you have and count the number of pins...or count the pins of the plug

clarkjd :

the cable goes between the keyboard section and main section of a laptop. no clue which things it connects.

Then, your best bet is to follow the advice of MasterWigu, and count the pins on the cable you are replacing.

can somebody tell me if this cable looks like it's in okay condition? to me it looks like they bent it more than it should be.

no.

nevermind i need a longer cable

PandaBear88 · Feb 5, 2017

if i buy a cable with more than the number of pins i need, can i cut the cable to only have the number of pins i need?

PandaBear88 :

That would depend on the amount of clearance that exists in your laptop, particularly on what's around the header that you will be connecting.
