membrane panel death

2006-04-29 by teknowh0re_1999

First of all, let me apologize for my Yahoo username. I picked this 
name when I was 17 or so in 1999.

I've owned my Polaris for about a year now, and it has the infamous 
membrane button death. I've opened it up a time or two but not gotten 
too adventerous until tonight. Long story short, the jumpers 
connecting the PCB to the membrane panel are pretty much dead (deader 
than they were). But when I say "jumper" I mean "leads in a thin 
plastic sheet." 

Can I simply solder in some jumper cable or wires from the PCB to the 
membrane panel or do I need to think about using this machine for 
spare parts?

I may be able to articulate this better with photographs, which may 
have to wait until someone posts a reply.



Thanks,

AAB
