Genuine Dell OEM Touchpad Ribbon Cable

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the touchpad assembly inside compatible Latitude laptops. It carries Dell part number F8PN5 and fits Latitude 5480 and 5490 models. Buyers repairing a different laptop series or needing a keyboard flex cable instead will need a different part.

Passive Flex Cable With No Power Draw

The ribbon is a passive flex circuit that carries only low-voltage touchpad signals and draws no measurable power of its own. It generates no heat and produces no audible noise during normal operation. Installation requires opening the chassis and reseating the connector, so builders uncomfortable with internal laptop work may prefer professional service.

Questions about this item

How do I route the F8PN5 ribbon cable through the hinge area of a Latitude 5480 without pinching it?

Feed the cable flat along the chassis groove, keep the gold contacts facing the board, and avoid twisting the 23 mm wide flex where it passes the hinge.

When should I replace this touchpad ribbon cable on a Latitude 5490?

Swap the F8PN5 cable if the cursor jumps, gestures stop registering, or the connector shows cracked traces after repeated lid cycles.
