Home Button Flex Cable Repair

When removing a very shattered diffuser from my iPad 8 I managed to damage the home button flex cable. Rather than just replace the button with a generic home button assembly, and losing the fingerprint ID function, I want to repair the flex cable. The cable is a two part cable with the different sections soldered together via multiple pads. The damage is to the section of cable with the motherboard connector. I want to do the repair by pulling the section I need from a generic assembly and soldering it to the home button section.

The problem is there are a lot of flex cable button assemblies available. Some of them are two piece cables but some of them are one piece cables which will not work for this repair. It is almost impossible to tell which is which from photos.

Does anyone know who sells a cable that will work for this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?
