Ask them how much it'll cost of this cable.

I have on several occassions tried to solder this type of cable.
It has been successful once but with your cable with all tracks broken, I don't think you have a chance.
Even with a temperature controlled soldering iron, all that will happen is bit by bit the tracks melt back away from the break.
It is not a copper ribbon in the tracks, but some sort of encapsulated carbon that just disappears when over heated.

Ring DELL with model and s/n. You may be pleasantly surprised as to the cost.
Cheers
