Genuine Dell OEM Replacement Part

This is a genuine Dell OEM 40-pin ribbon cable for the Chromebook 3100 and Chromebook 3100 2-in-1. It connects the right-side USB IO board to the motherboard. The part number is 6Y2Y6 with alternate references EDB10 and NBX0002FR00.

Sustained Connection Reliability

The cable maintains a stable link between the IO board and motherboard during continuous daily use. It handles the data and power lines for the USB ports without signal degradation over time. The 40-pin design matches the original factory specification exactly.

Upgrade From Damaged Original Cable

This part replaces a torn, pinched or corroded factory cable that causes intermittent USB ports. The jump is worth it when the right-side USB ports stop recognising devices or the laptop fails to boot due to a ribbon fault. It is not compatible with Chromebook 3100 systems equipped with the optional LTE 4G WWAN wireless module.
