thanks for the reply Photon, you edited your post b4 i got a chance to read the neat little trick with the duct tape to try to repair the ribbon cable fully. I'll have to remember that.

I have played around a little more today and i did put a piece of sellotape on the back of the contact strip so that when its inserted into the slot and the top pressed down it actually presses tighter on the contacts. I also resoldered every pin of the connector on the mobo to see if that helped.

Results... twice out of approx 100 attempts it did work, still keyboard freezing so i think its time to swap out u13 or u7... not sure which one to try first. mabbe the keyboard mpu first and then if that don't work onto the odd CIA
