Ouch! The cables look a bit beat up! I see some of the gold fingers damaged and some areas of the copper traces exposed. I'm thinking some of the lines are cut. The cables will need to be patched up if they can, otherwise you'll end up having to replace the full SIP package unit as replacing the cable is wicked hard!

Update (03/14/26)

You tell me? From the image we can see quite a bit of damage! Some maybe dirt but some are clear voids in the line

Are you sure the gold fingers could be damaged/and it the copper is exposed?

Then how did the display work prior? Can it just be dirt on the gold fingers?

Looking at those cables I'm not surprised it's not working. Looks like they were pulled out with pliers as opposed to releasing the connectors on the board. Never ever seen one that bad in all the ones I've repaired. Probably looking at a new board unless you know anywhere that does microsoldering

Just to give you an idea what's involved.
