Genuine Dell OEM Touchpad Cable
This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the touchpad assembly in Latitude 5420 and 5430 laptops. Part number 87V5K matches the original factory component exactly. It is a direct replacement for a damaged or worn flex cable.
Passive Flex Cable Operation
The ribbon carries only low-voltage touchpad signals so it draws no measurable power and produces no heat. Installation requires no drivers or firmware updates. Normal use adds zero acoustic noise to the system.
Latitude 5420 and 5430 Compatibility Only

Questions about this item
How do I install the 87V5K ribbon cable into the Latitude 5420 touchpad assembly?
Disconnect the battery, remove the bottom cover, detach the old cable from the touchpad and motherboard connectors, then insert the new 87V5K cable fully into both ZIF sockets before reassembly.
Will the 87V5K cable need replacement again after a certain period?
The ribbon cable is a passive component with no moving parts; it only requires replacement if physical damage or connector wear causes intermittent touchpad response.
What is the first limit that appears when the touchpad cable is used continuously?
Repeated flexing at the hinge area can fatigue the copper traces, leading to signal loss before any other failure mode develops.
