One other thing I would recommend is before you install the new ribbon cable, I installed a layer of Polyamide/Kapton Tape on both sides of the cable before installing and flexing/bending - this in theory reduces the severity of the bends, which I'd say is what causes the wires to break internally. It doesn't have to necessarily be Kapton tape, just any tape to provide some structural support against crushing/creasing would help :)
