tennrich awm 20624 80cvw1 (black ribbon cable)

Re:  Toshiba Satellite m305d laptop

I disassembled my laptop to inquire about it overheating and in the process I beleive I damaged the ribbon cable leading to the mouse/touchpad.  The touchpad no longer lights up or works.

I am looking for a replacement cable - it appears that I rubbed off some of the copper connectors (looks like the are  painted on).

The ribbon is black, about 6 or 7 in long and thin like maybe 1/4-1/2 in in width, with writing on it that says:    tennrich awm 20624 80cvw1.

The funny thing is that there are other ribbon cables off the motherboard and there is one that is shorter and wider and it also has writing on it that says: tennrich awm 20624 80cvw1.  However they are clearly not the same size.  Hmmm.  It could be that this cable was either split down the middle with a razor or soemthing.  I cannot see how two different ribbons have the same identifying writing.

Also, this cable has a blue tab to be able to work with it. (as do the other cables).  Another thing - this cable does not connect the way the other cables do.  The connector ends do not have a locking bar to hold the cables in place.  You just slip the cable ends into the connector ends by holding the blue tab.  (poor design and very fragile) 

Can you help me?

Thanks
