The Panasonic Q uses its own flex design, so this is the correct spare when the original Q flex has been damaged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring installation the flex must be routed and folded carefully. Because it is a thin, delicate component, it can be damaged if folded too sharply, bent repeatedly or pinched between shell parts during reassembly. You may need a replacement if the original cable has been creased, torn, kinked or folded incorrectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the standard Nintendo GameCube version of the solderless PicoLoader, please choose our standard replacement flex instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause flex cables are a consumable install component, they cannot be replaced under warranty once they have been folded or installed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompatibility Overview:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePicoLoader Version\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWorks?\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMakeo Solderless PicoLoader for Panasonic Q\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eYes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExact replacement flex - original part supplied by Makeo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMakeo Solderless PicoLoader for GameCube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent flex - use the standard GameCube replacement flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBitfunx \/ Retroscaler PicoLoader\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDifferent flex design and connector size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIY All-in-One Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIY versions have no replaceable flex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 1x Panasonic Q solderless flex cable (one per pack)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo Pico board, bracket, SD adapter or tools are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"zl-diy\"\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDIY part.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a DIY part for you to fit yourself.
