That ribbon will be the problem somewhere. The connection to the actual
tracks on the glass of the LCD is done by sticky stuff on the ribbon and
pressure to push the ribbons tracks against those of the panel. Sometimes
there can be a block of conductive "rubber" doing the connection.

You might be able to bring it back into life by putting a small wedge in
the right place.
