    Default Looking for a place that sells this computer cable connector.

    This is not it but it's something like this except a lot smaller. There are a few wires that plug into the motherboard on my girlfriend's laptop and when I took it apart I messed up the connectors. They're pretty tiny, one is a 2 pin and the other is a 4 pin and they plug right into the board itself. I think they go to the screen, any ideas where I can buy something like this? I tried the following places with no luck:
    1. Memory Express
    2. The Computer Rack
    3. Active Computer
    4. Alberta Computer Cable

    By Active Computer, did you mean Active Electronics?

    Active Electronics

    www.active123.com

    Depending on how badly you effed them, you might not have to re-crimp the contact...if you can extract them from the housing. I'm not sure of the brand from the picture but I will wager a guess they are Molex or Tyco connectors.

    Not likely something you will find locally. Will probably have to find the cable. What kind of laptop?

    Or..... if you can get pics of the connectors some of us with parts laptops might have a compatible end on a misc cable.

    Compaq v3000, has the exact same motherboard as the HP 2000 series which my roommate has and up until now have resisted the urge to disassemble.

    I found the exact 2 pin connector I need on the CMOS battery from a Dell D600 which I can use and can post a picture of tonight when I get home. I should have known looking on Google for a picture wouldn't help too much.

    thats a battery for the cmos, you should be able to just get the whole thing, if not active/b&e/mro its also the same as some cordless phone connectors so maybe source by circut city

    Ya sorry, this is just an example of the connector I need. It can be connected to anything, I'll just cut it off, I just want the plug. I can probably use this one for the 2 pin I need but I also need a 4 pin.

    A note from the experienced - don't pull on the wire to try and get the plug out of the board.
