Most cables have information printed on them somewhere.
Also if it turns out that the screen is the problem then the part number (or make and model number) will be on the back of the screen. Usually it is anyway ;-)
Here's a zoomed in image from the opening image of the ifixit [guide|79143] that I think shows where the information can be found. It is on the LVDS cable connector that plugs into the motherboard

Without seeing the datasheet for the cable (I can't find one) I don't know how you would know whether it is or isn't compatible with another cable.
I found one [link|https://www.compupartsolutions.com/ba39-01432a?search=BA39-01432A%20|supplier] but they were out of stock. You could try contacting them and asking either if it can be ordered or if they know of an equivalent replacement. Never hurts to ask. The worst they can say is no.

Alternatively, disassemble the laptop so that you can access both ends of the LVDS cable (i.e. unplug it at both ends) and then use an Ohmmeter and test each wire in the cable individually for continuity from end to end. Sometimes the cable can be damaged where it passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the lid.

If the cable tests OK then most likely it is the display. Either way you're going to have to get to the display so that the cable can be unplugged at that end if replacing the cable or the screen
