If the TV now powes up with the FPA disconnected, you can continue to
run it that way with no problem, or you can replace the tacts:

Acme has what you need. Go to their website and search ACME-302. I
guess you can't post URLs, but try Acme(dash)sales(dot)net

This is the correct tact for that series, change all of them (probably
six).

The 195 was made from about 1997 to 2002, so there are different ways
of getting to the front panel assy (assuming you don't already have it
out), but all are done from the front of the TV. The process involves
removing the front speaker grille, and snapping the control panel out
by releasing the plastic fingers that locate it to the front grille.
There are no screws or other fasteners involved. After removing the
old tacts, clean the pc under the tacts with a cleaner before
installing the new ones.
