Genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable for Inspiron 3162

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the power button board with USB and audio ports to the motherboard in Inspiron 11 3162 and 3164 laptops. It restores the I/O functions controlled by that board. The part matches Dell numbers 450.07603.0002 and 450.07603.1003.

Behaviour under sustained use

As a passive flexible flat cable, it carries signals continuously without active components or heat generation. Reliability depends on the integrity of the conductors and connectors rather than thermal management. No degradation pattern differs from a short burst because the cable does not regulate power or data rates.

Replaces a damaged or missing databoard cable

This cable replaces the original databoard cable when USB ports, audio jacks or the power button stop responding due to a torn or unseated flex. The repair is worthwhile when the laptop chassis and motherboard are otherwise sound. It is not for models outside the 3162 and 3164 series or for boards with different connector pinouts.

Questions about this item

Does this ribbon cable draw any power or generate heat during continuous use?

The cable is a passive flex circuit that carries signals between the I/O board and the motherboard; it consumes no power and produces no measurable heat.

Which Dell laptop models must I already own for this cable to fit?

It is designed for the Inspiron 11 3162 and Inspiron 11 3164; verify your service tag matches one of those models before ordering.

Will this cable work if I keep the original motherboard and I/O board in my 3164?

Yes — it replaces the exact factory flex cable (part numbers 450.07603.0002 and 450.07603.1003) used in those systems.
