When I repair boards like that, I pre-tin a strand, put a tiny bit of liquid flux over the damaged circuit area, and lay it right down over the break. I use fine pitch jeweler's screwdriver to "guillotine" the wire cleanly off the board. Once all the traces are done, I clean the flux and examine under a microscope.

Yeah, I was suspicious too, but it worked!   That's interesting, I wonder what other devices might suffer in the same way?   I got a TomTom One GPS for ten dollars at a rummage sale, and the touch aspect seemed flakey initially, but after charging and some use, all seems fine. I got a PDA last year, and the touch screen (you needed a stylus) seems unrepsonsive, I was wondering what might be involved, not that it really matters, it was a few dollars and I have no real use for one.   Michael

Surely you didn't throw it away...   How do the edges know which spot on the screen was touched? Was the bit of crud in ONE specific place that somehow allowed the whole thing to work, like a ground connection or something? Is the whole thing like a required ground connection and a bit of crud somehow breaks that connection? The website guy used paper; what if I'd used a tiny bit of toothpick sliver or wire or plastic?   I have an older Lenovo laptop with a touchscreen that I rarely use; it must have a frame. If it ever goes wonky I'll try it.   -- Cheers, Bev I'd rather not have neighbors. If I can see them, they're too close.
