What do you want us to do about it? If you bought ti retail send it back and see if you can get a replacement if you bought it off eBay then I really have no clue.

I WAS WONDERING IS THERE A WAY TO FIX TORE RIBBION CABLES

It really depends. Fixing the actual torn ribbon cable is pretty much guaranteed to be a solid "no".

 

However, if you can disassemble the rest of the tv, follow the ribbon cable on both ends and find out if they are directly soldered into anything, or if they are cables that insert into ports/connectors.

 

If the latter, then you can probably find a replacement cable on eBay. Look on the cable itself to see if there is a part number. You could also try calling or emailing the manufacturer, but I doubt anyone in the call centre would have the answer.
