It matches the exact specifications of the flex supplied in the full kit, making it the correct spare when the original cable is damaged.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nDuring 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, pinched between shell parts during reassembly. You may require a replacement flex if the original cable has been creased, torn, kinked, or folded incorrectly, or if it fails after overstressing the copper traces.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nTo avoid compatibility issues, this flex is made for the Makeo solderless Picoloader only. It will not function with Bitfunx, Retroscaler or DIY all-in-one flex versions, as these use different layouts and connector sizings.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\nBecause flex cables are considered a consumable install component, they cannot be replaced under warranty once they have been folded or installed. A new flex may be required if the original is damaged during fitting.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eCompatibility Overview:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003cth\u003ePicoloader Version\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n   \u003cth\u003eWorks?\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n    \u003cth\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eMakeo Picoloader (Solderless Version)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eYes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eExact replacement flex - Original part supplied by Makeo\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eBitfunx Picoloader\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eDifferent flex design and connector size\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eRetroscaler Picoloader\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eSame as Bitfunx version, wrong size.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eDIY All-in-One Flex\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eDIY versions have no replacable flex, they are all in one.\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n  \u003ctr\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eUnmodded Nintendo GameCube\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n    \u003ctd\u003eRequires the full Picoloader kit\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n  \u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFurther Info:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement flex cable for Makeo Picoloader solderless ODE\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eNot compatible with Bitfunx, Retroscaler or DIY PicoBoot flex parts\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible only with existing Makeo hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes: 1× flex cable only\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003eFlex cables are consumable components and not covered under warranty once folded or installed\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003eFAQ:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ: Why might I need a replacement flex?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nFlex cables can be damaged by sharp folds, over-bending, pressure during shell closure, or tearing at the connector.
