I tried to MacGyver some crap. Haha.
After slicing through about 3/4 of the ribbon cable, that was doubled up under the controller while trying to remove said controller for placement optimization, I just cut it straight across and scraped the coating down to the traces. Tried to build up a new contact pad with a little solder and added a thin piece of plastic to make the "new connector" a little more rigid. Needless to say, it didn't work.

Re: Upcoming Project w/custom hardwood/plexi case
This really sucks. Haha. Broke the first screen, this one just came in and can't figure it out. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cable as well. I can't find any other recommendations. Here's to hoping I don't have to buy a third screen.
Please HELP!!
Re: Upcoming Project w/custom hardwood/plexi case
Still in need of assistance with this stupid screen! I know there are way smarter people out there than me, please help so I dont have to buy another screen and anger the boss (wife) !
Thanks!
Thanks!

Not sure how just folding the controller board back under the screen "fixed" it, but it is working now.
