This Virtual cable seems the best option. However, if those cables are not available anymore i thought that maybe we can build a less-pro option:
We could take a 30 pin 0.5 pitch connector to DIP converter. Then, with AWG30 wire, we should solder line by line to the converter. Finally with a 30pin 0.5 pitch ribbon flat cable, make the connection.
PROs: We do not have to solder on the motherboard: The 30 pin connector is too close to the capacitors and also the wires do not route naturally to the pins of the connector. Making it this way leaves the door open for future replacements. Also the soldering operation on the DIP area is much easier than the motherboard.It is cheaper than manufacturing the custom ribbon cable (if it has to be re-manufactured again).
CONs: The display has to be soldered anyway. We are adding more parts to the assembly and probably we will need to create some kind of attachment with a 3D printer to attach this converter to the VB (I was thinking on the bolts on the corners -not the ones that attach the display to the plastic-).
This is the converter:

This is the AWG30 wire:
