As you guessed you can solder or fix the ribbon. You need a new ribbon.

Look for a used MP for cheap and use the ribbon from it to repair your MP.

I don't know of any other way to fix it.

If you tore the ribbon...forget it, nearly impossible to repair. The most common damage people do to their machines. NEC sells a replacement cable for about $19 plus shipping which is another $8. You have to call them up to order it from their parts place...but for that price you'd be better off to just buy a junker an have reserve parts in case something else fails...
