Can I swap out My Laptop's broken Ribbon cables (those flat paper thin connectors) for ones with similar number of pins?

[H.K.]

Hey guys. So while cleaning today, those paper (thin) ribbon cables connecting the Keyboard & Power Button to the MB, in my laptop broke.
First the blue thing on the head that was supposed to help you connect the thing came off, tried to reconnect them but didn't work.

Then, as I tried to re-insert the cables without the blue thing, the pins on the heads had bent or were half broken but still worked.

As I had to connect and disconnect them a few times to fix some problem with my fan, one connector had half of the pins on its tip fall out and the other had them cut/broken from rest of the cable, just bellow the tip.

So my question is, just to be sure, as stated in the topic name, can I change these cables with something with same number of pins?

PS. I'm from outside the US, in country with no Amazon, PayPal or shitty, if any, common manufacturer supports.

Yea, the manufacturer isn't an option in my country, could only find desktop components in their website and only the display connector in a third party website.
