Cable#2 Doesn't connect to the board - 3G

[apc0243]

So I have done a lot of work to this iphone that a friend bought, and its required me to disassemble the iphone quite a few times over the past few months.

Now I think I've seriously damaged it. The number 2 cable doesn't clip in. I connects and sends information if I press on it though. I discovered this when I first put it back together and I couldn't use the screen, but when I opened it back up and pressed on the Number 2 cable (the touch sensor connector), it was definitely loose, but pressure let it work and I was able to turn it off (thank god).

Is there any way I can hope to replace this? I used canned air to try and clear anything blocking the clip, but I'm not sure what to do from there. I remember before when I first replaced the touch screen I may have wiped an extremely small amount of super glue over the female connector (the screen, not the logic board). I see some on the cable itself, but not on the female pin.

I have NO clue how to solder. I don't even own the equipment to do it. Does it sound like a cable issue, or is it a logic board issue?

If the damage is on the board side, no. If the damage is to the connector that goes to the digitizer, replace digitizer. Can you provide pics?

I can't get pictures that don't look retarded.

But I'm not really sure what to do. I don't have another phone to test the digitizer on, so I can't be positive if it is the digitizer or the connector on the board.

Check the plastic parts on the board with a magnifying glass and look at the cable coming from the digitizer. Tough to say if you cant take a picture, or test w/ another digi.

Well, information can be transferred which means it isn't a damaged pin. If it's the clip, where exactly on the board do the pieces connect? Because maybe its something that can be jimmy'd to work if I can just start looking at the exact location.
