@ketmorco even then, ribbon cables in handheld consumer electronics are often a nightmare. when ive done work on gameboys, working with the ribbon cables is the most stressful part. making sure they 1) fit back in with the case closing and 2) dont get crushed/break is so scary, and not everyone has room for that stress, or time to learn this stuff, or someone more experienced to ask for help. should be plug and play like batteries
