With a bit of work, I've been able to fix such a broken cable. First, I cut off the faulty end(s). I used a hot-air soldering station (a cheap one), set up to about 200 °C. That way, I could peel off the upper insulation foil, using a cutter knife. (Be careful to not accidentally cut into the metal leads.) That way, the metal traces were open again. Then, I used the hot-air stream to heat up the old (already removed) ends of the cable, so I could easily remove the small support sheets that are glued below the cable ends, and re-glued them onto the new cable ends. The fixed cable is then, unfortunately, even more at risk because it's shorter, but it has proven to work. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
