Cvilux ribbon cable

I’m going to ask the question in this forum, I know I have just cross posted so go ahead and scold me, I’m a big guy and have very thick skin.

What I’m hoping is someone that repairs lap tops may have an answer.
The writing on this ribbon cable are”cvilLux E208903 AWM2076 105C 60V vw-1”
Searching these numbers shows cables of several different widths and pin numbers.Im wondering if there is a source to buy this cable.

What you have is not a ribbon cable, but an FFC (flexible flat cable).

The writing on it is usually just the manufacturer and approval notices. They make them in huge rolls, which they cut to size when you order one. You'll need to specify the number of connectors, the pitch, length, and the orientation of the ends.

Well identifying the number of pins will be easy. Is the pitch the width of the contacts and the spacing in-between them? Armed with the correct name, I’ve looked on EBay and did not notice anything close.
Any idea on where to find distributors?
