Which LCD cable did I accidentally shear, and is it salvageable?
When removing the LCD from my busted laptop, I accidentally severed a ribbon cable. I think it goes to the inverter but I'm seeking confirmation.
I was hoping to buy an LCD controller board and turn this into a standalone screen, but will damaging this wire compromise my ability to do that? If so, where can I purchase a new one?
If necessary, I can provide further images.
Update 1 (Backlight Cable & Inverter)
Update 2 (LVDS)
Is this a good question?

Sure looks like the backlight cable. This will depend on what model panel it is and it would be great to see more pictures of where the cable comes from and where it is supposed to be.

Thanks for the reply! As requested, I updated the main post with a bunch of new images. Hopefully that makes it easier to determine what's going on.

Sam, any chance you could post an image of your LVDS connector on the panel itself as well? Trying to research a controller for your panel.

Certainly! I updated the main post again - scroll down to 'Update 2' at the bottom. I really appreciate your interest in helping.

Perfect. Lets see if we can find out if there is a controller for it, what the price is and if it comes with all the cables.
