In the process of dissecting my retired inspire, I somehow managed to cut the ribbon cable that connects to the little pcb with the volume switches. Is that a part that can be replaced workout replacing the whole digitizer & such assembly?

If so, can someone recommend a good source for parts?

Thanks

Sadly, the ribbon cable for the volume buttons is joined with the camera lens, the part you need lays underneath the motherboard, which takes up quite a lot of the surface area of the phone, luckily though, the part is quite cheap, you can use the video above to help.
