Saving an Alienware 2310?

This little 120hz 1920x1080 screen has served me well… last week when my computer woke from sleep, this monitor did not.
The monitor was still detected by the computer, and still gives a beep when plugged in to power, but no signs of life on the buttons - so I can’t turn it on.

I’ve been able to find a driver board that looks to be a suitable replacement (getting it outside of the US is a different challenge), but I have noticed a pile of insulation from two of the cables. . . (the individual conductors are now touching as the insulation is falling off)

Does anyone have any idea as to what these cables are called / where I could try to source some from? Or, is this monitor destined for the large ewaste skip in the sky. . .(?) (They are different, one has circa 41 pins, and the other has circa 50 - if my eyes are right)
