I have recently purchased a new digitiser for my Pronto Pro 7000. During the installation process, I somehow managed to break the ZIF (?) connector off the circuit board, connection point 1202 on the PCB.
Does anyone know what that part is called/part number? Or, an alternative method of connecting the ribbon from the digitiser to the PCB? I don't possess the fine motor skills to precision solder the tiny connections!

I thought that it was only held one with a couple of drops of epoxy? Is it somehow soldered in place?

Yes, it is soldered to the board. It is surface-mount technology and is flow soldered. However, if it is only the plastic locking clip that you broke, you might be able to exchange it out.

No, unfortunately its the whole connector. Initially, I dropped the black cable clip, which got stuck in the carpet and when I picked it up, it snapped. So, I tried wedging some cardboard to hold the ribbon to the connector, which worked well for a while, but the connector eventually gave under the added pressure and broke off.
Would it be possible to get someone skilled to solder the ribbon directly to the board? ie will it still work? There seems to be 8 connectors on the board and 4 on the ribbon, so I guess 2 per ribbon?

This would be a very tedious job. I would not want to do it. Your best bet is to pick up a unit off ebay.
