Finally heat up the plastic ribbon where it is stuck to the circuit

circuit board... probably worth doing this several times; in effect you
are remating the ribbon to the circuit board by softening the adhesive.

I wonder if that will work for the ribbon cable that is unreliable on
the LCD disply of our microwave. Several tracks are "broken" but if
you ramp up the humidity they work. This is a flat ribbon that splits
and is bonded to both sides of the glass of the LCD itself with a
rather sharp bend along the edge of the glass.
