Did you ever get this fixed?

This isn't fixable. I've taken the whole device apart and they have effectively glued the ribbon into the central "bone" of the device. You do not have access to that area unless you are willing to break through the plastic, I doubt you will cleanly separate the central bone.

Well, i'm using it for a handheld PC so I wont need the middle part.

I had this issue with a JBL Speaker. There was some numbers on the ribbon cable itself so I tried them on the internet and had no luck.

What I ended up doing was counting the number of pins that were on the ribbon cable I then measured it in (mm).

Then for example I went in to google typed ‘6pin 250mm x 20mm ribbon cable' and one poped up so I ordered and it was the correct part and it fit the device perfect and the device powered on. It only cost me like £3 so I didn't mind the risk of ordering it for it to fit or not.

Try this your your device and let me know if it worked for you.
