About problem while opening Lens Assembly

Can you give the pin details of the 6 pin ribbon flex cable inside the lens assembly that goes inside to the camera shutter in the DMC-TZ70, I accidently tear up that flex cable (while trying to clean the front lens), I want to connect it by jumper wire as those flex cable is not available in my country.

@upendradawadi that is one elusive flex cable. It's pretty difficult to fin out anything specific. I added the service manual to this page Panasonic Lumix ZS50 (TZ70, TZ71) under documents. It looks like the shutter flex connects to the Lens Flex cable. There is nothing specific in the schematic other than the LENS DRIVE BLOCK DIAGRAM on page 54, which does not give a clear indication what those points are. You may get some answers from the schematic and the Lens Flex cable on page 84.

I somehow manage that cable from old camera and lens assembly problem solved. But to clean the zoom Lever switch I opened the TOP PCB Unit, cleaned it and reassembled the camera, everything is done finely, now the camera work as before but suddenly I found the Flash is not working. But the camera system does not show any message on display about faulty Flash, so what may has happened in this TZ70 camera? Can you suggest possible step to finding out the fault??
