Not everyone has seen the insides of one of those - you need to be a little
more specific.

There's wire ribbon cable of various types, and a few kinds of mylar
flexiprint - and many different methods of termination.

Your first port of call is to find out if its available as a service
replacement - but that could well cost as much as just replacing the radio.

Describe the part and someone might be able to suggest a fix.

Digi-Key has a whole area of board to board jumpers and specialty cables.
You might poke around in their web site and see if you can find something
that is at least a close match.

Depending on the type of ribbon cable and plugs, if a wire is broken
where it just comes out of the plug you can sometimes separate the
housing and carefully release and then move the wire inwards 3/8" or so
to get a fresh connection when re-pressed.

Assuming there is enough slack...
