Flexible printed cable - repairable?
Fridge freezer controls have gone awol, turns out the connection between
the fascia switch pcb and the control pcb is one of those printed flexible cables, like pcb tracks on a flexi substrate. This had been installed badly and squashed, so I think some of the tracks have been broken (the cable creasing is obvious, but actual breaks are not). Anyhow, the replacement part is the whole fascia - £250. Gulp. (expensive German appliance, no warranty). All for the sake of a stupid 2p cable. I can get at the cable before the creasing starts, and have clear access to the control pcb end, but the joint the other end between cable and the fascia switch pcb is not accessible. So I can't just solder on something more fit for purpose at that end, and would have to cut the existing cable and pick up the traces somehow, and add an extension to replace the creased bit. Anyone succeeded in doing anything like this? |
