I wonder if Scotch 9703 conductive tape may be a viable solution for
repairing broken flex leads?


- Franc Zabkar

That special tape will work! Key is clean both real good. Careful on
that flex cable, it is made of conductive paint printed on clear
plastic sheet. Many chemicals will attack that paint. This is same
kind of flex circuit with this printed on conductive paint.

Otherwise, there is room on PCB to drill two holes and use two thick
(say .050" to .100") strips of aluminum and screws & nuts, one thin
rubber strip from your junk stuff to pad the flex so both flex and
circuit board is squeezed together. Much better design IHMO!!

What type of display panel? LCD?
