-Display ribbon cab dented display is not being recognized with new one
+DisplayPort cable damaged? Display not being recognized with new one

-I think I also damaged mine, although is a 21,5 inch. I opened it to replace the optical drive, and when I was going to close it I didn't inserted the ribbon in a parallel way, resulting in a dented ribbon, I just received the DisplayPort ribbon/cable and to my surprise my display is not being recognized. I'm using an external display, I did a SMC PRAM reset, I took the RAM away and reinserted again but nothing happens.

is there anyway to replace it by myself? I'm not in the USA.
Thanks Oldturkey03, pollytintop and Dan: The EMC is 2389. The display doesn't work at all, no backlight no picture, it is not even being detected. Right now I'm working with a Plasma TV.
I had the same problem with the original data ribbon which has the SN: 593-1280 REV A and then part I ordered from Macpartsonline is 593 - 1280A ICT 1611 which appears to be the same except for the way how the code is shown. There is no visible damage on the socket itself.
-The ribbon plugs in both sides naturall, is a perfect fit, so unless the new ribbon is also damaged I blame the display port socket, since the display was fine before I dented the old ribbon, maybe I stretched the socket or broke some pin.
