There is an outfit in Raleigh NC that will probably build a custom one.
Connect-It (919) 872-8491  They don't have a website.
They will most likely want the old one for specs.  However, I would send the
notebook to an authorized service center.  They don't pay the same that you
would for parts, They might fix it for less than you can.  They might even
have good cables from a cadaver they will let go cheap.

I have a Compaq Presario 1260 Notebook computer that I bought in 1999. The
TFT display is not working. I took it apart and have found that the ribbon
cable as well as the backlight cable have cracked from normal wear and tear.
Well I finally got a 1-800 number from them for parts and was told the
cables were $132 and $81 respectively. OUCH. Can anyone offer suggestions as
to where one can get cables for less than that or other solutions?
