Is there a repair for a ripped digitizer ribbon?

I was replacing my digitizer and accidentally ripped the ribbon wire to the bottom part of the digitizer. Is there anything I can do to make this digitizer useful again, or is it trash?

Philip Bremer, there is no good way to repair a ribbon cable. You will have to replace the complete digitizer. Hope this helps, good luck.
