You have two problems: screen hanging loose and broken ribbon cable.

Depending on the exact type maybe the ribbon can be replaced or you need a display with ribbon (since they usually cannot be removed from the display). I would have to check but I'm not near my computer for the rest of the day. Bigger issue is hanging screen as that suggests a mechanical failure that most likely requires a complete part replacement. If you go that way you might as well replace the screen too.

I have a service manual somewhere and IIRC the disassembly is not super complex but you may have more luck if some generic phone repair shop does it for you (you just provide the spare parts).

I would first check the prices on required parts.

Edit - good people at ifixit to the rescue!
