What I really need is this part known on ebay and other sites as a 'flex ribbon cable'. If you have just that part, I'd like to buy it for $15 shipped.

If instead you have a broken phone, I would also be willing to buy that. But the phone should be in one of the following two conditions:
- crap motherboard but good top half (everything from from the lcd to the fat ribbon cable that connects to the motherboard should be intact). It is okay if the lcd isn't perfect.
- completely crap lcd but everything else is good and all the ribbon cables (apart from the lcd) are intact.

I would buy a phone in either of these states for $65 shipped.

You probably will need to take your phone apart to check the condition of the cables - this tehkseven guide is a good tutorial.

Thanks.
