Broken cable clamp on Orange flat cable

After replacing the battery on my 10.1” galaxy tab 3, the little bar clamp on the orange cable broke and the cable does not clamp down in the slot. Swiping the screen is now erratic and often not even happening. I guess this is the problem as I have changed the battery before with no ill effects. Is it repairable?

Holding the cable in place with tape does not help.

Thanks for your quick response Daniel, can't seem to paste the copied photo. if its any help the little bar was a brown colour and snapped in the middle and both parts disappeared.

If you know how to post the picture I have it.

looks like that. I am not hopeful for a good outcome.

It is taking a long time to charge now and as it is over 6 years old I feel it's race may be almost run......

the charging issue could be a bad charge port or the charging chip is going bad

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

Are the parts easily obtainable?if so from where? it couldn't hurt to change the charging slot and maybe all the flat cables.

should be available on ebay
