Those prices are amazingly insane; that connector is worth about $5 at the most. Perhaps you could try contacting ASUS America about getting one OEM?
I'll use their "email technical support" to request the part.
EDIT- request sent, should receive a response within 48 hours.

The display on my ASUS Eee PC keeps going white. While is started out as merely annoying, it's become more and more of a hassle to use my comp. At first I could just readjust the screen and it would come back, but more recently I've had to remove the front panel from the monitor so I could jiggle the wire on the left to get it to work. Now, I have to jiggle the wire almost constantly to maintain a picture, making the computer almost entirely useless without an external monitor. Is there any documentation for disassembling this machine and replacing the wire(it appears to be 4 or 5 30 gauge threads in a single cord)? Or am gonna have to give in and buy an [jailbroken] iPad?
If you actually have to buy a new computer I might recommend building your own desktop instead of getting a portable (unless you absolutely need one). You'll get a higher spec'd machine for cheaper. Good luck with the repairs.

I was actually thinking of getting my grandparents to finance just that since they got my brother a $600 drumset. I do however really like taking my emulators and home office everywhere I go, which is why I have a netbook to begin with.
Indeed, I definitely would choose to have only portable computers over only desktop computers, despite the potential power and lower cost of desktops.

I'm doing that now. What is RMA, and do I need to send my computer in? Because right now my computer is in pieces, and some of the cosmetic pieces won't go back together...

RMA is Return Merchandise Authorization, and you do indeed need to send your computer in for that. I think it's better if you try to talk to a representative and convince them to sell you just the cable assembly, though. Register to Join the Conversation
