Hey all, The connector where the LCD plugs in on my surface 3 was damaged during a screen replacement. The issue is I dont know what the part is called or where to purchase a new one. Please help me Update (10/06/2016)
This is the connector in question. This is on the main logic board and the LCD flex plugs into it. The black piece that clamps down on the flex is gone and there is a missing pin.
Mike, if you can post a picture of damaged connector, it would be a big help to ifixit , I believe the connector is the mother board ribbon connector. Check the attached link and see if it is the motherboard connector, Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.

Mine too damaged, are you sure it’s 35 pin connector at AliExpress
I don’t think the above connector from Aliexpress is correct. Looking into it it seems to use the same connector that is on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 2014. It is actually a 70 pin connector not 35 because there are pins on both sides. You might be able to buy a replacement off eBay or Aliexpress. Below is the link to the connector on Aliexpress.
