Is it a flexgate issue when I can only use it in SAFE MODE and connected to HDMI? I cannot boot my laptop in normal boot. After apple logo, my laptop turns into black screen with lines on top.

Does this need to be done to both of the ribbon cables eventually?

[@vancouvermac]

The issue can occur to the cable on the opposite side (used for camera and ambient light sensor), but it is quite rare.
If both cables are affected, the display would need to be completely disassembled and the cable would need to be replaced from its root under the glass. The camera cable has much finer traces which prevent it from being able to be repaired using this method.
