Sony XPERIA ribbon ripped...

[kayj]

I was installing a new screen digitizer for my Sony XPERIA X10 and I ripped the cable for the three front buttons... Is there any way that I can fix it so that the buttons will work again!? Thank you.

Here are some pictures of the rip.

Can someone please help? I don't want to pay another $600 for a phone.

Looks more like you broke a small non-flex PC board. Is that correct? We need much better pictures of this to even guess at your options. I've never attempted repairing flex PC material and it may very well be impossible.

I don't exactly know what I broke but I will upload better pictures later.
