I saw that auction Zetr0, I am curious, just suppose that you won it, how would you fix the broken ribbon cable?

alas i missed it in the last moments as r0jaws and I got down and geeky with some A1200 ide replacing and re-building and A2000 battery de-soldering
but yes...
the cable isn't a problem... I would of removed the cable completely, and replaced it with another, probably a hacked one from a PS2

soldering these is a little tricky, a lot of LIQUID flux and low temp melting solder is key here (under 300), and with the finest point on the iron it literally would be tap tap tap tap... tap tap....done...

and obviously the other side..
thinking about it now, I would also consider pre-heating it, with it settled on an iron or other pre-heating apperatus. but again... keeping under 200 as the plastic will be destroyed.
