Genuine Dell OEM Ribbon Cable

This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the palmrest junction board to the motherboard inside the Alienware m15 R2 laptop. It carries the part number YV959 and matches the alternate references EDQ51_MCU_FFC, NBX0002II00 and NBX00021100. The part is supplied new and is the exact component shown in the product images.

Sustained Signal Integrity

The flat flexible cable maintains a stable electrical path between the palmrest USH junction board and the mainboard during continuous laptop operation. Its construction is designed to endure repeated thermal cycles and the mechanical stress of daily lid opening without signal degradation. No active electronics are present, so reliability depends on the physical integrity of the conductors and connectors.

Direct Replacement for Damaged Flex

This cable replaces a torn, creased or oxidised original flex that causes intermittent touchpad, fingerprint reader or power-button failures. The upgrade is worthwhile when diagnostics confirm an open or short circuit on the palmrest-to-motherboard link. It is not for users seeking additional ports, wireless upgrades or a different laptop chassis.

Questions about this item

How much extra heat or power draw does the YV959 ribbon cable add when the Alienware m15 R2 runs all day?

The YV959 is a passive flat-flex cable; it carries signals between the palmrest junction board and the motherboard without drawing measurable power or generating heat of its own.

What other parts must already be in the Alienware m15 R2 for the YV959 cable to function?

You need the original palmrest assembly with its USH junction board and a working motherboard connector; the cable simply bridges those two components.

Will the YV959 ribbon cable fit an older Alienware 15 or m15 R1 chassis?

No — the part is listed only for the Alienware m15 R2 and the alternate numbers EDQ51_MCU_FFC, NBX0002II00 and NBX00021100 confirm that specific model fit.
