DS Flash Equipment > Nintendo DS Phat R.I.P (any help is appreciated!)

Hi guys...
So I ordered with my SuperCard a replacement DS Shell (http://www.psxbox.net/?gOo=Z29vZHNfZGV0YWlscy5kd3Q&goodsid=1324) and after I removed all the DS Parts from the old shell, I began applying it to the new one. For some unknown reason, the ribbon cable that goes from the mainboard of the DS to the Top screen got a very very little cut. But, that cut was enough to stop my DS from working. When I now turn on my DS, both screens turn on for a few moments, the top black(not wokring apparently), and the bottom fades from black to white(the FlashME I guess) then turns blue, and then the DS turn off. So now I no more have a working DS. I was wondering if there was some way to fix this cut, in any way possible.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Not easilly, top screen replacements I think come with the ribbon, look around

It's not that the ribbon between the top screen and the two top boards that got the cut, it's the ribbon between the mainboard and those two top boards...
What part of the DS if I buy would give me the ribbon I'm talking about?

Thanks again...

Sorry, being totally honest, I can't help.

Save up to get a DS lite I guess, not the best answer you were expecting..
