That's what I thought as well when I first saw it. Since the ribbon is a part of the screen it does not seem very likely anything can be done about this?

I still think it has to do with the ribbon cable, but I fear I don't have a solution for you. It looks and seems to me that the cable may perhaps have become damaged, in which case I'm not sure if anything can be done. At least I think that's a lot more likely than the screen itself having been damaged by the reassembly after the battery change.
If no solution is found and you'd rather not buy a new reader, or at least not without exploring further options, I would see if there isn't an electronics repair shop near you and check if they can do something to fix it. Hopefully they can and hopefully it won't cost all that much.

The pictures are from when I tried to attach the cable in different ways as described above. I did however manage to get it back to look like it did in the first post before reassembling it again and that's where I am back to right now. Sorry for not mentioning that before.
I guess I will try to find a way to change the top margins of my books with calibre as mentioned by someone else in the thread (Thanks for the tip) and see if I can get any use of it before getting a new one.
