Broke vertical sync cable on reinstall... possible fix?
Hello everybody,
While reinstalling my display into my iMac, I broke one of the 4 thin strips of metal that comes out of the vertical sync cable. I only noticed this after restarting the computer and hearing a weird high-pitched ringing noise (and researching the issue, apparently this is a problem on many stock iMacs). The display itself appears to work fine, so I don't want to make things worse, but is it possible to cut the cable and strip the protective coating, making the cable viable again?
Thanks!
Is this a good question?

Took my late 2009 27" imac to the shop for hard drive issues and it failed so I decided to fix it myself and noticed a flashing folder when i started it up after stuffing that small connector in it's spot. I knew something was wrong but i put it together anyway...Didn't work so I opened it again and noticed that one of the tiny contacts was peeled back. I bent it back and re assembled it. I also found plenty of spare and NEW parts # 539-1049 v online @ eBay some for $6.00 free s/h. Make sure you buy the right kind mine ends with a "v" not "A"... But Yes they can be fixed and you'll need the right kind of tape Kapton tape. This tape is heat sensitive made for computers.
