Troubleshooting Is my Kindle Paperwhite 3 screen still salvageable?

My Kindle Paperwhite 3 suddenly crash and unable to boot up, probably due to problem with the NAND. And when borrow my friend's Kindle motherboard to test the screen, this happens. Is my screen still salvageable?

Looks like broken substrate or damaged cable or cable not seated correctly.

The substrate should be fine as it was freeze at my last read page before this picture and the screen seems to be just fine. I suspect that the electronics on the cable have some problem i.e. the mxic EEPROM or the capacitors on the thing
