(sigh) That's the way the laptop crumbles.

Witchboard:
I don't think the glue will work.  The runs are too fine.  I would prefer either to get a new cable or not use it at all and maybe sell the TFT display to somebody who needs one.

paigeoliver:
As far as careful soldering, I didn't mean solder on the ribbon cable, I meant solder jumper wires inbetween the locations the ribbon cable connected. You need a steady hand and thin wire, but it is doable. It would be a lot easier than replacing the surface mount bios on a newer neo geo board (which I have seen a lot of people do).

Witchboard:
I really don't think it's possible to solder these.  I'll take a picture of the connections and you all can give me your opinions.  I can do cap kits and replace ram chips and stuff, but this is too small for me.

ShinAce:
You just need a finer tipped iron and a magnifying glass,  :P.

I'd go with a new cable myself.
