Ideas on how to fix this?

Hi everyone,

I was replacing the keyboard on my Aspire 6930G after books fell on it and damaged some keys and when I removed the ribbon that attaches the keyboard to the motherboard the small black clip that holds the ribbon in place broke (see pic)

Now the keyboard only half works unless I put pressure on the ribbon :(

Phoned Acer and they said that the part can not be purchased at all as its part of the motherboard

Thanks

I would use some adhesive foil or a adhesive foam pad to stick the cable in place:

Ended up using a business card and hot glue to fix it, worked a treat!
