hiya guys, i brought a is200 stereo off ebay for 99p, guy said it was err3. as i fixed mine before i thought if i could fix this one i could resell and make a tidy profit. Well, when opening the stereo i noticed the orange ribbon strip has snapped, i would imagine this is what is causing the stereo to not work. my question is, what is this thing actually called, can it be fixed, or can i buy a new one? see pics below

Thanks in advance

Not sure about a replacement ribbon, but why not grab another broken one for cheap and make one good one - you will still make a reasonable sum! Smile

I would say they more than likely are the same in all IS200 sterios but don't take that as gospel.

PM Rabster - he may have a solution, he is clever like that.
