Wire and Flex Cables
With the very thin enclosure design and dispersed circuit board, a large number of flex
cables are used in this computer. In addition, there are a variety of wire cable harnesses
as well. Many of these cables carry multiple types of signals. In the case of the DC-in
board flex cable; the cable is forked with one path going to the Bluetooth board and the
other to the DC-in board.
Here is a list of the cables and the signals that run across them. If you notice a group of
functions not working, it is likely that the cable is not properly inserted or the connector is
damaged.
