Volume/Power Cable replacement... more info needed

I just tore my volume/power cable while working on a screen replacement for the iPod Touch 4th gen, following your guide.

I accept full responsibility, but I strongly urge you to add a little more explanation as to *how* to avoid damaging this delicate ribon. An extra sentence or two and a picture showing where the cable runs underneath the board would save many from the same mistake I made.

In my case my pry tool was a little too wide and I wiggled it too much while lifting the logic board. If I knew exactly where the cable ran underneath that could have been avoided.

Now I see you sell replacement cables, but your description of required tools is incomplete and you lack a guide.

The replacement requires soldering equipment.

I have very little experience in that department and don't know what specs the soldering equipment needs to have to avoid damaging the motherboard or cable. I also don't yet know if it requires special solder or, for that matter, if the required solder is already attached to the replacement cable and only needs heating.

I would appreciate more detail for myself and others.

Thanks.
