Hey hey. So I was trying to figure out what is wrong with my laptop, and I attached the screen cable to another laptop, but forgot the camera part of the cable in the original laptop, so when I turned it on I smelled something burning and saw a sparks at the camera part. Now I am looking to replace the screen on the laptop, and I am wondering if I should also replace the screen cable, or can I just leave the camera unplugged not to damage the screen or something.

I have been looking everywhere for the cable, but I cant find it. The laptop is Asus X550VX, but all I can find are cables for X550, X550C, and other models. (The cable I found: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005867741939.html).
