G2 LCD wire bundle

Hi
A single wire running into one of the LCD connectors under the LCD cover was disconnected from its connector. I managed to temporarily re-insert it and the LCD came back to life.
Any idea on how can this wire be secured in its place? It seems like this is a plastic connector and I cannot see a way to open this connector to expose the wire connections and so be able to secure this wire in its place.
here is a macro of the connector and the wire

This is a really tough one to solve. This kind of connector is designed to be "crimped" onto the wires with a special tool. As part of the crimping, the connector pierces the insulation and makes an excellent connection. It looks like your wire broke either at the crimp point or at the place where the wire enteres the connector.

If you're under warranty, your best bet is to send the camera back and suffer without it for a while.

If you don't have warranty, there's less to lose by trying to disassemble the connector. If you can get it apart, you might be able to reinsert the (now shorter) wire and put it all back together, applying pressure with a vise to make the connector pierce the insulation. But the probability of failure is high. At that point, you'd be back in the "send it in for repairs" boat.

A fundamental part of the problem, which can be seen in your photo, is that the wire isn't long enough any more. What really needs to happen is that the entire wire bundle should be replaced with a new one, and a new connector crimped on.

Bummer.

thanks
the connector is maybe 5 mm long and 1 mm thick. it may have to be crimmped in-place, then attached to the board. very risky. maybe try to glue it in when the LCD is on, as the wire can be 'held' in place by pushing it back into its port.

tools this size ??

Man, I don't know if I would be taking anything apart! The connector isn't broke..... If ain't broke dont fix it. Now as far as the wire that IS broke. I'd rather try and so what your said, hold the wire in place and when the LCD is on Glue it. Why take apart a connector and risk MORE damage. IE: The other 8 wires going into it lol

It seems that the wire is too short and you may need a 2cm same kind flexible wire to attach to it. Try to solder it to this short wire and isolate it. Then you could solder the other end to the connector without tension applied to it. You will need an appropriate soldering-iron. The same kind of problem (disconnected wire) has been discussed several times here in regards to the small switch in the LCD axis which inverts the LCD display after rotating it at 180 degrees.
