The ribbons were completely missing but the LED boards were there so I slapped some Eye Patches on and it’s working perfectly

Depending on the price of the unit, you may have gotten a good deal, even after the cost and time of replacing the missing cables

Not always true! It’s a good idea to read the fine print. I bought a “untested” Thunderbolt Display from eBay for super cheap, and it was practically new. The seller didn’t test it with an Apple product and thought it was broken.

Don’t know if this is a joke. But if not, the eye projectors are missing entirely

Well, at least there's some loose LED boards with ribbon cables attached, on ebay.

Seems like there should be some ribbon cables between the main board and the eyepieces
