I finally dropped & cracked the touch screen glass on my iPad 2 wi-fi. Everything worked fine; the glass was only cracked. I even successfully removed the broken glass and installed the new touch screen with digitizer flex cable / ribbon. Before adhering the new glass to the backing, I tested the touchscreen, all buttons, wifi connection, camera. All of it was working! Then at the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND I fumbled and ripped the flex cable to the touch screen near where it adheres to the back panel (what luck!). I have searched everywhere for ONLY this flex cable to replace on my new touch screen. I don't want to have to buy the entire touch screen glass with the flex ribbon again. I just want a new cable. Does such a thing exist?? Do I have to buy an entirely new glass? Is it possible to remove the flex cable from my broken glass and use it on the new glass?
