Display MacBook Pro 13" (A1708) anno 2016

Hi, I have a 2016 13" MacBook Pro Fn system with a display problem it turns off when lifting the screen beyond a certain angle.

Unfortunately I'm not covered by the Apple recall because the time is up. I'm ask if the problem is caused by the LCD-base connection cables or something else?

It is caused by the cable that connects the LCD with its small board. Its not the small cable that connects the Logicboard (Mainboard) with the small Display Board.

Here is a pic of the Display with the Board and the Cables that break.

thank you for the reply; therefore the two cables 'on the sides' of the attached figure have to be replaced; not the small flat in the center. Right?
