Damaged display assembly connector MacBookPro A1398.

Hi, I guess I overestimated my fixing skills and while changing the battery and cleaning my MacBook Pro Retina 15" number 11,3 mid 2014 (A1938) I damaged one pin of the display assembly connector, the part that is attached to the display cable and plugs into the logic board. Just one pin on the far left is gone, but the display does not switch on anymore. Everything else is fine and I can use my mac just fine with external displays.

I guess going from most expensive to least expensive my options are:

1) new display assembly

2) used display assembly OR (here is the question)

3) can I have somebody replace just the connector, or maybe if the display assembly has a similar connector on the other end just replace the cable + 2 connectors if this is available as a part? (maybe used). Both seem very difficult options (I don't plan on doing this mysefl, esp. considering my poor track record :-) ) but may be doable.

TIA for any suggestion.

As an update, I just found out that the cable is an actual part that can be bought online (I don't know whether I can post the link but google for "MacBook Pro Retina LCD LVDs Cable A1398 " . It's 10 Euros, so perhaps there's hope, I'll just need somebody to the heat gun work to unglue the screen and replace the cable. Still, any suggestion is welcome.
