According to service manual, the ribbon cable is called KEY flexible board, and it seems the only way to solve it is to get a new case, X-2187-670-1 CASE SC ASSY (for SILVER) (including KEY flexible board), in my case.
In your case,it's time to give up your old Sony and get a new Reader. Trying to find the parts needed to fix your 505is not worth the time and hassle. Just go get a Kobo and enjoy reading.
