Carbon track ribbon cable end, repairing
Hi, I have a small LCD display where the edge has a 60-track ribbon
cable going to the motherboard. The cable is clear plastic with very thin carbon tracks. The end going to the PC board has gone intermittent, so I pulled it off. Apparently it was glued on with some gray goop. The carbon tracks on the end of the cable have mostly pulled off the plastic. I could cut off the bad end as there's about 1/4 inch of slack in the cable BUT: (1) There's some beige painted-on insulation over the carbon. It comes off with acetone, but so do the carbon tracks! How do I get the beige insulation off without hurting the delicate carbon underneath? (2) What do I use to glue the cable back on? Or should I fashion a clamp? Help! |
