Default Need to fix hole in ribbon cable

I have a flat ribbon cable in a synthesizer that senses pressure

repair it because it's easy to get to the hole, but really hard to
remove the whole cable. *The problem is that I don't know what kind of
wire it is or how it works. *Since I don't know what it's called, it's
hard to do a google search. *I've posted a picture of it athttp://www.francismcgrath.com/wire.jpg. *Can someone tell me what this

how to fix it.

Thanks, Francis


How many conductors are there in the cable, and do you know how to
solder?
