Any updates? Have you found a generic motor to replace M200s extruder motor?

I've attached two diagrams to try to explain what needs to be done. Again, it's just switching the positions of the top row with the bottom row. Also, do take care to make sure the connect key/notch is matched up first. Your first photo looks like the keys might not be lining up.

Im beggining to have issues with the ribbon cable, and its just so hard to get an original replacement. So Im thinking of making my own replacement cable.
As for the whole issue of pin numbering and switched rows.
Will flipping one of the cable heads do the job? Check picture attached.


Edit: Upon further inspection, it would not only be necessary to flip it to get the right orientation of the connectors key, but actually to cross the cables before crimping them as to flip pin positions, check last picture attached, I believe this will achieve the desired result.

Second Edit:  IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
