I did the same thing I broke the retaining flap. I posted for assistance at this site a while back but I have had no answer. Is the retaining flap a replaceable item? I ordered a new fan thinking with would come included but nada

I also broke the retaining flap. For now, I just reinserted the ribbon. Is the function of the retaining flap just to hold the ribbon in place? Since then my computer has been entering sleep mode/shutting down during use, but I also did a battery replacement recently.
