N95 Screen cable broken?

[can16358p]

Hey,
Just two weeks after the 2-year warrantly period is over, my phone fell down badly and a few days the screen flickered/gone black etc. while sliding. Then the picture is gone completely. Backlight is on but nothing to view (just like vieweing a completely black image fullscreen). As my device is out of warranty, I opened it and realized that one of the flexible flat cables that connect the screen to the circuits is broken. It's complely broken into 2 pieces, I try to connect them manually but no hope, I get no image on screen. What do you recommend? Anyone good with flexible flat cables? Any recommendations that I can replace in home?
Thanks,
Can.

There are plenty of independent mobile repair shops, and internet sites which will fix a screen and return to you for under £40. Try searching for nokia repair on Google.

hey dude, i had da same prob.
I bought n95 frm saudi and i got 2 year warranty.
My n95 got dis ribbon damage 1 month b4 ma expiary date. But warranty does not include physical damage lyk dis 1. So i repaired frm a local store wid ma money.

Y Dis ribbon problem?
I did not ever drop ma n95 frm ma hand but y dis prob.
Its bcoz,every sliding phone hve ribbon which have a lot chance 2 get damaged,may b 4 reason,may b witout ne reason.it actualy gets damaged slowly as every tym u slide it.
