that's certainly a possibility.
I was looking through Digi-key trying to see if I could find a similar connector, and there must have been a few hundred pages of results. Not exactly sure how I'd find an equivalent. Just look for anything with 10 pins with 0.5mm (I think) spacing?
I need to see if I can meter out the connector... i.e. from the connector's pads to the flex strip's conductors. If that's okay, then the problem might be where the flex terminates somewhere within the display assembly.
Probing the connector pads might be a challenge, if only because getting probes onto those little pads might be tough. TBD.
