Did you get the ribbon cables that have the strain relief in them like PC ribbon cables do? I find these are very troublesome as I think the male board pins do not set in deep enough into those type ribbon cables.

Quoted from alexanr1:Ordered them from Marco.

Do the new cables look like the originals, without a service loop around them for strain relief? I hadn't ordered those from Marco in a long time, so I don't recall. Sometimes, pictures are not always what you get.
So since you have flipper/sound issues, this would be the ribbon cable most suspect. Though as you remove the cable at each board connection, make sure there are no bent male board pins as well.
