Replaceable? Generally, no. It is cheaper and easier to replace the entire LCD. I say cheaper because if you mess with trying to remove that ribbon from the LCD you will almost guaranteed destroy the LCD and/or digitizer.

I have the same problem with my boyfriend's Mogul, except it was just wear and tear from the damn sliding. Havent been able to find that one piece. Its the orange flex cable that also has the internal speaker piece, but I cant find it on ebay or any local repair shops. They all offer lcds (BIG HELP!). So, if theres still anyone that knows a better way to find flex cables please say so.

I do not know if the offer that piece exactly since the site is a little hard to navigate, but you can try and give http://www.mouser.com/ a shot. If you can find a part number it would make things ALLOT easier.
