So my Pine64 2g board of course arrived without the play box I ordered with my pledge. Been able to play around with it just sitting on the desk, everything works good. Since I have no idea IF or WHEN the playbox will arrive, I've been digging around the house for something to use as a sort of case enclosure. Have found a couple of unique plastic boxes that would work, but the ribbon cables for the TP won't be long enough. Can of course just use the hdmi, but if I could find some ribbon cable extensions for the TP I'd be able to hook that up as well.
Anybody know where I could find ribbon cable extensions? just need to extend them 2 or 3 inches....

We plan to provided another longer LCD extension cable when playbox shipped on late July.
Tllim- are you referring to an extension cable for TP? I really hope so.

+1 me if I have helped you in any way. Thank you.
My email to Pine eventually got through the queue and a replacement cable was promised. By that point I'd already ordered the cable from Farnell anyway and am happy to report that it was a perfect fit. I was also able to get the screen working after downloading the latest Android build. So far, so good!
What about a TP extension cable? That's what I'd like most.

IMHO, both cables need extensions.
