I need a replacement Game Card Reader connector on the motherboard. Can’t seem to locate one. Really don’t want to harvest one of a donor board unless I really have to.

Anyone know the part number of the connector that slots into this? I have several game card readers with damaged connectors and have yet to be able to find the male piece that mates with this.

#5

It’s a 38 pin FPC socket. Just do a search on google for sources.

#6

There are a large number of connectors matching the description. I was hoping someone would have an idea of the actual way this part is described.

#7

Did you ever find a replacement for the connector on the game card reader?

#8

Nope. Basically bought replacement card readers complete. Fixed the problem.

#9

Search for the game card reader on eBay or Aliexpress, planty of choices

#10

I have three game card readers with faulty connectors. I was just wondering if anybody had found a supplier or a substitute connector?

#11

I see AliExpress sells the female connector (Mainboard side). But not the male side from card reader

#12

Im also looking… Its kind of strange that all other connectors could be bought…

I guess no one found one…?

#13

Safe to assume no male connectors have been sourced? Seems like such a waste, might just solder the few I have directly haha.
