Gateway LP2407 FFC broken

I replaced the caps in the power supply board but noticed some of the ends of the ribbon cable were bent, and when I tried to straighten them out, one broke off, so much for testing my fix. Who sells them, makes them, has one as a spare part? Thank you for looking/responding to my post.

I felt I had nothing to lose so I took a Weller soldering gun with a flat iron attachment, and carefully melted the top layer of the cable exposing the six wires. FIXED
