IMHO.
Anyone know how to repair the eMate flex cable that gets damaged when
the hinge spring lets loose? I've bent the spring ends over and added
the washer to keep the spring from slipping again (the standard field
repair), but I've got one or two eMates with the common symptom of
"touch screen doesn't work" from spring damage and no replacement
cables.
Can one scrape back the insulation and solder another flex cable
across the damage?
Thanks,
