Wow. You are awesome. I couldn't find a manufacturer besides
ITW/Chemtronix, so I kept trying with their "standard" pen, which
would work for about 4 open/close cycles before failing due to
flexion. I finally gave up and bought another eMate with a shattered
screen for parts.
What's the point in Ferdi's selling emate cables when this pen fixes
them reliably? Why not just fix it, put some plastic adhesive
sheeting on both sides of the repair, and just forget it?
Is this in the wiki under eMate? *goes to wiki and starts adding*
