Replace Split Ribbon Cable? (Keyboard Replacement)

[itommyboy]

Gang I was replacing the entire keyobard on our Penryn MBP yesterday, courtesy of our two year old twins!

Man I forgot how sensitive ribbon cables are! I split the main power orange ribbon cable with only the slightest touch to get it out of the way. I'm unable to find it on ifixit but I don't really know what the legit name for this cable is.

Does anyone know what the actual name of this main ribbon cable is and if I can in fact order a replacement? It sure looks like it could be swapped. Pic's attached. TIA. ~Tommy

Solution

I found this cable it's called the "top case flex cable" in case anyone is interested and it can be easily replaced for not to much.
