Just want to post a followup, eight years on!
I ordered the same ribbon cable kit from pixelfix and tried to repair another SID2. Just as before, the cable has no adhesive (unlike what seems to be shown in the instruction video), and I had a helluva time recreating what I did before to apply the right pressure to the connections--all the while holding the ribbon cable in precise place. After three tries (and breaking the important rubber o-ring, which was very brittle), I got it to work, but unfortunately, I had cracked the screen, and the result is not great.
In hindsight, I wish I had just bought a rebuilt unit from Ebay, and that's probably what I'll do if my other 9-5 loses pixels!
