I just replaced the power supply in my Soyo Topaz S, but there's another problem on top of that. I probably damaged the ribbon cable when I was dismantling the monitor. The only info I can pull from the cord is:

LEKE CABLE E206419 RJ AWM 20798 80C 60V VW-1

It's 32 contacts wide and it's the line directly from the main board of the monitor to the actual LCD.

Luckily, neither side is soldered directly to the its receiving point.

If you can help me at all, I would really appreciate it. I already sank $80 into repairing this and I just want it up and running again.
 
Just in case anyone was wondering. I took 600 grit sandpaper and, after cutting a clean line across the ribbon cable, I sanded down the plastic and exposed the copper wires. I put that in where the normal contacts go and, with a bit of positioning, fixed the monitor!

WOOHAA!
