Genuine Dell Keyboard Backlight Ribbon Cable

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable carries the keyboard backlight signal to the junction board on Inspiron 7558 and 7568 2-in-1 laptops. It is a direct replacement for part number 1HJ8H and the alternative references Blackwood-MLK-BL-FFC and 450.05P05. The part is supplied new and includes the cable only.

Replaces a damaged or failed backlight flex

Install this cable when the keyboard illumination flickers, stays dark or shows intermittent lighting after a hinge repair or liquid exposure. The jump is worth it when the original flex has cracked at the fold or the connector pins have corroded, restoring full backlight control without replacing the entire keyboard assembly.

Maintains signal integrity through repeated hinge

The flexible flat construction is designed to withstand the constant bending of a 2-in-1 hinge without signal loss or conductor fatigue. Under sustained daily opening and closing the cable retains reliable conductivity, preventing the intermittent backlight failures that develop with aged or kinked original flexes.
