Yeah, the NG900 SID units have the same surface mounted ribbon cable that connects the circuit board to the LCD. This is very poor design since there is no stress relief (if you tug at the cable it will come off the board) and its difficult to resolder the cable since the contacts are underneath. I'm of the opinion that this is the leading reason why so many SIDs have failed, and I don't understand why Saab hasn't slapped their suppliers upside the head for using such a design in a car that is subject to heat, vibration, stress, etc.
Oh, and the NG900 SID's are marked as being manufactured by Lucas in the UK... UGH.
