Flickering Macbook Pro touch bar, possible to fix with only short flex?

[howardc64]

Just finished the tedious process of replacing A2251 touch bar as the original one is flashing and randomly crashes OS in sleep.

Was wondering anyone ever fixed this by just changing the short flex that doesn't require the massive disassembly and touch bar removal? Part A in the attached pic. This part is 1 of 2 electronics block on the OLED display part of the touch bar.

Have a more complete post of my touch bar replacement process if interested

This post ( link ) tried the small cable and determined it was good. Failure was the long touch bar itself which requires difficult disassembly
