Little hole, big problem

So up until recently my PS2 wasn't working. It wouldn't read discs of any kind and would often fail to read those it started on.
I took it apart, cleaned off the lens, and stuck a game in there to test my results. (I fixed the housing back onto it)
Worked like a charm. No problems at all.
So now I'm re-assembling the system and as I'm screwing the casing back on I punch a hole through the ribbon cable that attaches the on/off switch and the open tray switch to the unit.
It will now neither turn on nor open and close.
So my question is: Can I fix this? Somehow? If not, can I replace this cable? Bypass it?

You can fix the damage if you soldier a replacement length of wire to replace the ribbon threads that got cut, but I'm assuming that's not really within your ability.
