Ed,
Thanks, I remember now about the defogger repair liquid trick..
Unfortunately, this cable is cut clean through two of the traces and to
top it off the cut is where the ribbon cable makes the last 90 degree bend around
the board. I don't think that this is the best place to make a repair.
Just for info, how do you go about exposing the trace (take off the plastic.)
It's so thin... I'd be afraid to touch it with anything sharp.
