I was repairing my tv and I accidentally ripped a ribbon cable...on it says SUMITOMO-M AWM 2896 80C VW-1 -F- It is white with 40 pins and is about 20mm wide and 120mm long...It came from a Mitsubishi WD-52525 DLP Tv...does anyone know where I can buy one of these cables?
http://www.vancebaldwin.com/ carry mit Parts
I checked that site out...and the only "part" for Mitsubishi that I found was some remotes...I didn't call them though so I can't say for sure...however, I was able to find replacement cables by another manufacturer at www.digikey.com I ordered extra for myself just in case...but if anyone ever runs into this problem give them a call...they were really helpful...thank you for the suggestion though...
Yes you will have to call them there a Mitsubishi Parts DEALER the reason you did not get the FULL Parts list or Service Manual on there website is because you have to be a service center with a account number and Password to login in i just checked and they have like 7 cables listed for that set 645 total parts listed for the WD-52525
I just checked all that out too...and none of those cables were the ones I needed...however thats a great resource for anything else I may break in my process of trying to fix this TV =)
They don't list every part on website if not listed you have to call them and they will look it up for you If its available from mit they can get it
Well I spoke to Mitsu directly and they had a hell of a time trying to understand what cable I was talking about...I do not have the original part number, just the text thats printed on the cable...There was no one there that could match the text to any part number so as far as they were concerned I was crap out of luck...fortunately someone had suggested I call digikey and I gave it a try...best phone call I ever made...hell, I'm sure Mitsu would have asked for more than 4.50 anyway...
I just wanted to post an update on these cables that I bought from Digikey....they are a bit shorter than I expected...they are NOT the exact length of the white ribbon cables in my chassis...luckily there is one ribbon cable that does not need to be as long as the others, and one of the replacement cables that I bought will fit there nicely...if anyone needs these cables...call Digikey and talk to a sales rep, they will get you the right part...
Paulskii,
good to see your posting. I am looking for exact same ribbon for a Mitsubishi WD-62525 TV. I had same problem with Mitsubishi dealer, so I was hopping you can provide me with the Digikey part number and description (other info if you had it) of the one that worked for you so I can buy it.
I just do not want to take chances on buying the wrong one as I need the TV fixed before Christmas!!
thx for your help.
DigiKey has them. Just search for this part number: WM10214-ND
Hope you found it.
The ones I got from digikey had both connections on the same side. The ones that came off of the TV had them on opposite sides. I asked digikey and they said they had nothing that matched that. I don't want to try and remove the connectors and turn them. Any ideas?
mine says : SUMITOMO-M AWM 2896 80C VW-1 I THINK IT IS 18 PIN. IT IS TO REPAIR A FORD CD6 AUTO RADIO
