I'm looking for a ribbon cable for the Korg X3. Any help would be appreciated.

Or take the existing cable to a computer repair shop.

I tried that and they don't have it. Said I will get a notice if they ever get one. The other part of your answer said bring it to a repair shop. You mean they can fix the existing ribbon cable? Thank you, I really appreciate you trying to help.

I checked with Partisparts.net, and they no longer supply the cable.

Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that a computer repair shop will help. It will very much depend on the people running it, and their resourcefulness, and electronic skills. Some will just be box shifters.

Good luck.

Thank you. I found on another site, someone suggested Ali Express. Kind of a hit and miss with them. We will see. Also since I replaced the Floppy drive with the hard drive I sent a message to them. They do have a bunch in stock. So I will wait for Ali Express first. I appreciate your help!

My ribbon cable that I originally had worked. Funny that it only goes in one way. If you go end for end it won't work. Or have it upside down it won't work. I did get some from Ali express. Just by chance that I put the ribbon cable in a different way. I purchased one of those Gotek hard drives off the internet and it wouldn't turn on. Its all great now and I can finally get rid of about 200 floppy's
