What is the name of this flex cable? what does it do?

Hi Guys

Doing an ipad mini 4 screen replacement, swapping the home button was fine, but I noticed a flex cable had been torn when taking off the screen! - _-

There is no power to the device and its basically dead, could this be the cause?

I haven't soldered the sleep wake sensor yet, but surely that wouldn't stop it from powering on at all?

Thanks!
