Broken Flex Cable on Pimoroni NVME Dual Base

Support Cross Reference
1

Hi, I’m Azzam from Malaysia

My Pimoroni Dual NVME Base (1778-PIM704-ND) started to not working since yesterday and i already Diagnose by

lsblk

lspci

And using RaspiOS, all the firmware is already up to date by

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo rpi-update
sudo rpi-eeprom-update

And from my

sudo nano /boot/firmware/config.txt

i’ve uncommand

dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

After a few hour the PWR led were turn off , so i might think that the flex cable were the problem
Then ive started to play with the bending , there’s certain times the PWR is on

The original part from Pimoroni didnt have the delivery to Malaysia :frowning:

Is there any product that can replace the flex cable?
Is the 1528-5931-ND is compatible to the 1778-PIM704-ND although it have a curve?

Can you please take a photo of the current one, every pi5 pcie adapter seems to have a slightly different shape…

Another: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/adafruit-industries-llc/5931/24614904

So we need this a straight cable:
