Default Repairing mylar cable?

You need a magnifier lamp and check with a DVM before and after the process.


Not quite clear to me... does this involve any new flexie material? Or just
paint? Is paint expected to bridge a gap in the flexie?

This seems a good way to repair breaks in conductive traces, but a damaged
flexie...?


if there's a gap glue a bridge behind it (you'll have to find an adhesive
that sticks to it and goes hard, )
