Accidentally Tore Touch Screen Ribbon Cable

In the process of replacing the battery on my 3rd Gen iPod Touch, I accidentally tore the ribbon cable on the front panel (embarrassing mistake).

I seem to have successfully removed the old battery and soldered the new one in place as it turned on fine with a 70% charge.

Is there any way to tape together or join the torn ribbon or do I have to buy a new one? And if so, is it this? iPod touch (3rd Gen) Front Panel Assembly

If it’s ripped, you need a replacment screen or a pricey microsoldering repair

Okay, thanks. I’ll just buy a new digitizer and snap it on in. Cheers.
