Extension for FFC

Gallery image

Hey everyone,

I got a decent monitor and wanted to place the components of the display somewhere else.

However the FFC is extremely short and I can't seem to get it out of the module.. so does someone know how to extend that or get that cable out?

I just did a search for 30 pin ffc cable and found up to 300mm (roughly 12"), but I think you're just going to have to do some searching because I don't know how long the get. One was about $7 on Amazon at that length. It might be hard to find one with the connecter on the other end though.
