Now that my fiancee has a job, I'm looking into using ChemTronix's
"Flexible PCB Repair Pen" to repair eMate screen cables. The standard
"not for flexible PCBs" pen works, but after the screen is opened and
closed about 10 times it quits working, so I'm thinking that the
specially formulated for flexible PCBs pen *might* be just the quick
fix that we're looking for.

If you want to beat me to it, though, horray for the newton community.
