Last night I managed to delaminate existing FFC by using the same contact cleaner that was used to "fix" the power button. Then capton tape was used to keep the existing copper traces aligned.
As next, I'll try attaching small strips of copper tape to lengthen the existing traces...

When comparing two boards, one can spot that the upper board (I have circled the area as well) is missing the plastic strain relief for the board-to-board flexible flat cable.
Lack of strain relief allowed micro-cracks to form, add some moisture and we'll eventually end up with a delaminated flexible flat cable and broken solder joints. -
And picture from insides. Top one was not powering on and eventually figured out that the issue was broken power switch. After flooding it multiple times with contact cleaner I was greeted with working display!
But.. during the unit disassembly, disaster struck...
