First place to try is Ebay, try searching for something like 'V800 screen ribbon' or 'V800 data ribbon', something along those lines.

The other option is to buy another V800 as spares, look on ebay for one that's dead and doesn't power up, is blocked, etc. Then simply put your mainboard into the dead phone and you should then have a fully working V800i!
Couple of tips though, firstly try the 'dead' V800 with a charged battery, you'd be amazed how many people sell phones as being dead when it's simply either a battery or charging fault! The second tip is to then sell on the other parts (the dead/faulty mainboard if it is indeed dead) and your old part of the phone with the snapped ribbon for spares, you should recoup some of your money then, perhaps most of it!
This way is a bit more expensive and can take time to find the right 'dead' phone, but is probably the easiest way if you can't source the data ribbon.
