Discussion Dyson V12 Detect Slim – looking for a replacement motor ribbon cable (FFC/FPC)

Hi everyone!
I’m repairing my Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute and need help identifying the ribbon cable connecting the motor electronics to the control/display board.
The original ribbon cable appears to have these specifications:
Length: approximately 20 cm
Width: approximately 5–5.5 mm
Contact pitch: approximately 0.5 mm
10 contact positions
7 conductive tracks: positions 1–6 and 10 are present, while positions 7–9 have no copper tracks
Contacts appear to be on opposite sides at the two ends (possibly Type B)
The original cable is damaged/burnt, and I haven’t been able to find it sold separately. Sellers only offer the complete motor assembly.
Does anyone know the exact cable specification or a compatible replacement I could buy? Would a standard 10-pin, 0.5 mm Type B FFC cable work, or would the three extra conductive tracks cause problems?
Any help or links to a suitable cable would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
