My TI-83+ recently ran into the infamous glitchy screen issue, and I after checking the bottom screen cable using a multimeter to the best of my abilities, I am pretty sure that the top cable is the problem. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the top cable is slightly disconnected on one side, see images:

(The lines of melted cable are from my poor attempt at solving the issue using a cheap soldering iron, under the assumption that the problem was with the adhesive.)
Is it possible that my screen problems are due to this slight misalignment if the screen cable, and if so, how do I solve the issue?
Edit: After further thought, I think only the black part, which I assume to be the adhesive is misaligned. My question still stands though.
