You appear to have STARTED to research a series of issue with the flex cables in MacBook Pro computers.
But stooped well short of understanding why this is an expensive, frustrating and intractable problem.
Allow me to provide some additional information needed for a more thorough understanding. I am not defending, only explaining:
The displays on modern MacBook Pros are ONE assembly. The flex cable has many conductors, and Apple chose to connect that cable to the display module using surface-mount soldering techniques for ease of manufacture.
There are no replacement cables. If it were possible to remove the damaged cable easily with ordinary equipment (like a soldering pencil) and reliably attach another cable using similar tools, this would NOT be an issue. Aftermarket repair services would be thriving doing cable-replacements, and the entire issue would have blown over.
Apple does not offer ANY replacement mechanism for these issues except replacement of the display Assembly, complete. Apple has stooped having individual display parts in its repair parts inventory, to reduce the cost of carrying hundreds of thousands of individual parts with only ONE use each.
