Hello!
A few days ago I found my old original Nintendo DS (the fat one). Sadly, a few years ago its bottom display was broken. Therefore, I decided to order a new display and switch them.
I followed this IFIXIT guide. During the Repair, at step 8, i accidently destroyed the lock for the ribbon cable.
This is a screenshot of the IFIXIT guide, I marked the black lock:
This is how it looks like for me after I broke the lock (only the upper one for the digitzer, the lower this works):
The new display works, except for the digitizer, as I currently have trouble inserting the ribbon cable und keeping it in place.
Now I am trying to find a new lock to replace the brocken one, as I cannot properly install the ribbon cable for the digitizer anymore.
However, I had problems finding the correct replacement part.
So far, I found the following listings one Aliexpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32546154260.html and https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33027040404.html
However, these do not seem to be the parts I am looking for.
Worst case I was planning to glue the cable into place, but that is my very last resort.
I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you very much!
