JasJar Faulty Screen - Video Evidence.. Please help!

[weareborg]

Hi all. A while ago (read last November) the screen on my xda exec, aka jasjar mysteriously started acting up.. I've posted a quick video of the issue on you tube.

As you can see putting the screen in landscape, specifically in "laptop mode" causes the screen to lose connection with the device.

Anyone know if this is something I can fix myself with the right tools? What do I need? Screen itself is fine, looks like a cable/connector problem. By the way its out of warranty and second hand... so I'm on me own..
Would a soldering Iron do the trick or do I need a new cable?
Any help/advice appreciated! i was loving my exec until this happened.. replaced it with a symbian phone... and now... well its time to go back to windows!
Cheers again,
wab.

LCD Coax Ribbon has gone. Happens a lot, and it happend to me, they cost about 70.00 GBP but i have seen them cheaper. Replacing them isnt the easiest of tasks, but if you have a steady hand, tiny screwdrivers and patience its possible. No soldering is required. The cable clips are pretty easy to remove and install, its just running it through the channels and the hinge.

Did i mention you need a steady hand??

I Did find this....
