Accidentally ripped this off as my PS Move is a different model, any chance this could be fixed using like jumper wires or not?

This step is destructive and simply breaks the LED solder joints!!!
WTF, you literally broke the soldered ribbon cable.

Okay, going to try this. Do I have to solder the white strip back onto the board?
did you ever get this done? need to know the same.
très clair, mais où trouver une led ? et en enlevant le cable de la led, il faut le dessourder, non ?
This is BEYOND useless without the information as to where to get the LED unit itself. It's not a standard LED board I can find anywhere.
Also, on the PS3 Move controller the cable from the main board to the LED is soldered both ends and doesn't simply lift away from the circuit.
As to the "beyond useless" comment, this isn't meant to be directed towards the kind people who have spent their time to help others with their knowledge and, their LED cable may have simply lifted away from the board if the Move controller was the later PS4 model, I don't know, I haven't pulled a PS4 Move controller apart (yet).
The guide however would be so much better with that one tiny bit of information, where can I find the LED module and the 1039 number on the LED board itself is of no help in my search.
I stripped my controller down before I found the link to this article (qualifications in electronics), my main need is identifying the faulty LED module so I can replace it.
Sorry, how do I reconnect the white cable I've just cut away from the circuit board solder joints as you've done?
Butchers!
SERIOUSLY??
No, I'm NOT stupid enough to cut cables and magically think they reconnect using the reverse disassembly instructions as suggested (just poke them in like a magician and they magically connect themselves, if only). Someone needs to rethink their idea of an article to "HELP" people.
