DW 700V Ribbon cable...HEELP!!!

Hey guys,

I've had the digital wheels 7'' xenarc for about 4-6 months. Since I first got it I have had problems with the ribbon cable. The ribbon cable which attaches to the board inside the cubby keeps coming loose. And rather than remove my entire dash to replace it I have been lucky in squeezing my hand into the cubby hole, replacing the brown clip the past 2 times. Well I have been lucky a third time however I think the ribbon cable is bad. Regardless of the position I get it in, the screen shows white only. I want to know if I can buy a replacement cable and where. In addition, do I need to buy an entirely new screen?? I am reaaally getting annoyed with the screen ribbon coming out. What happens is the latch mechanism is loose and if I hit a few bumps the screen crashes back down into the housing causing the ribbon to come loose....I am not sure if this can be resolved by getting a new ribbon. If not I may have to resort to getting a new screen, but if a new screen will have this same problem than I will just cut my losses....

HEELP!!
