Oh, sure. The pen I'm looking at using is manufactured by ChemTronics
(you can order it from DigiKey) and is clearly marked for flexible
PCB repair.
Forgive me for assuming you diddn't want to do the work yourself. :-)
The fix with a pen follows the "fix by soldering" directions except
that the soldering is amazingly scary-tiny. If your fix with the pen
doesn't work, just scrape the offending part off with a scalpel (#10
blade works really well :-) ) and revise-it's great.
If it works... can I borrow the pen? :-)
Good regards,
Tyler Smith
