I'm trying to find some use for a laptop with a dead motherboard here and reusing the LCD panel seems quite doable.
I bought a LCD controller board and it works just fine with its provided cable.
However, I would like to use the original ribbon cable because there are some extra functions on it and that's where I'm a bit stuck.
Indeed, the connector used on the "motherboard" part is quite thin and I'm having a hard time finding the name for such a connector. It has 50 pins on tow rows, each pin appearing to be spaced by 1/32 of an inch from its neighbor.
Here are two pictures:
The background is a paper sheet with a 5mmx5mm grid and what I'd like to be able to find is the male connector, the one on the motherboard.
Do any of you have any idea what brand/kind of connector this is?

So Laptop LCDs use a digital interface instead of the traditional VGA/DVI interface. If you Google it you should be able to find more information. That being said, that cable is most likely proprietary as the back-light and other sensors on the LCD like an ambient light sensor will most likely all come back on that single cable... – None – 2015-12-18T14:56:13.250
Pin pitch is extremely useful when tracking down components in Digikey. I'll mention that you could try removing the connector from the motherboard with hot air, though there's a good chance the connector won't survive. – W5VO – 2015-12-18T15:40:40.403
