No idea, however if you call your local Apple Authorized Service Provider they can tell you. This is EXACTLY why you should take iMacs to your local Apple Authorized Service Provider to be professionally worked on, they are extremely easy to damage if you are not qualified to take them apart.
At this point, that is probably what I'd do rather than risk doing even more damage. However it's your computer and your choice of course.
Good luck with it and stay safe.

If that is indeed a cable and not just tape (hard to tell from the quality and angle of the photo), then it is part of the LCD Panel and not available separately. The LCD Panel is very expensive. You may as well purchase a new computer.
Please contact your local Apple Authorized Service Provider for support or use Google to see if that part is available, possibly check ebay too.
Thanks, do you have any idea what the part is officially called?
Cheers for the response, yes I have learned the hard way!!! I have another monitor coming so I will probably just use that with the imac screen off.
