Apparently this was not how you remove the doorbell from its mount. What is the function of the ripped off ribbon cable? The doorbell is still showing signs of life.

    A few chats with Alphabet customer support informed me that it’s not user-replaceable without a pretty big risk of further damage, even if you want to go through the process of a full teardown.

      If anyone is interested: I fixed it. Bought one from eBay that was listed for parts and took out the component that had the ribbon cable soldered to it. Just had to attach it to my one and done! All in all an easy fix (if you can find that part). Saved me at least 100 euros.

      FYI: that ribbon cable is not responsible for any functionality of the doorbell. It takes care of everything related to charging the battery.
