Genuine Dell Touchpad Ribbon Cable

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the touchpad assembly inside compatible laptops. It is designed for owners of Inspiron 15 (5580) or Vostro 5581 models who need to replace a damaged or worn flex cable. The part restores the electrical link between the touchpad and the mainboard.

Exact Model Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the laptop model number: this cable is confirmed for Inspiron 15 (5580) and Vostro 5581 only. Buyers with any other Dell series, including other 15-inch Inspiron or Vostro generations, cannot use this part. No other model numbers are supported.

Passive Flex Cable Operation
