It shouldn't be that hard to find, although I've never seen it
for sale anywhere. Maybe you can get someone with a dead calc
to send you one.
Anyway, the hard part is going to be getting the cable lined up
and fixed in place. You will need to very precisly apply adhesive
to both ends of the cable such that you do not cover the contacts,
and don't use so much that you keep the contacts from making a
solid connection. That, or use a conductive adhesive on the
contacts themselves, but not between them. either way, your talking
about applying adhesive at somewhere around a 0.5 mm pitch.
It will be tedious, but probably do-able, with an x-acto or
something similar (assuming you can find appropriate adhesive.
If only the lines in the middle are faulty, you might be able to
cut the cable between the conductors so you can lift away on the
bad end, instead of the whole side.
Another thing you might try before taking the cable apart is
to use a warm soldering iron to gently heat the adhesive that
is already there. Maybe you can get it to stick back down.
This depends on the nature of the damage and the adhesive.
Might not work at all, and if your not careful, could melt
the cable.
I have one calc that is missing two columns of pixels on the
right side. I just learned to live with it. The rest of the
display is fixed using a strip of corrigated cardboard squished
between the front of the case and the LCD connector.
