Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Tonight after opening up my Polaris to check out the appearance of my  
batteries, I noticed that after closing it back up suddenly, the "A"  vertical row 
of membranes is out. I opened it back up, poked that little cheap  plasticky 
ribbon connector, and now suddenly my "C" row of membranes is out, as  well as 
my "upper function" vertical row.  Has anyone had this happen  before, and if 
so, is it because of cracking of one of those little plastic  ribbon 
connectors??  Anyone know where you can get a replacement/substitute  for those two 
connectors? (if indeed that's what it would be)  My Polaris  functioned perfectly 
before that. Looks like I opened up a can of worms.  :)
thanks,
