When I first saw the picture, my instinct was to you say you're hosed. On further thought however, I think if were to take an exacto knife and carefully scraped off the insulation, you could use silver epoxy to carefully join each wire/trace/whatever you want to call it back together. I believe most auto stores sell this as part of their rear window defroster repair kits. If not, maybe Radio Shack or somewhere online.

It'd be tricky, but doable I think. No money back guarantee on this one though

I would think if you can get it all hooked together, that you'd also want to be sure to somehow reinforce the splice. Maybe a wrap of packing tape around the joint?

What game is it from? No replacement cables available?

It may be a noob idea from me, but can you just solder on a whole new ribbon?

It is a mod for SS.

I second the recommendation of trying to exacto scrape the insulation off, but I'd use a couple short pieces of 30 AWG wire to complete the splice. The other option, depending on the clearance would be to completely replace the flex with a wire pigtail.

I've made splices like this before....The insulation is coated onto the wire. Get out your butane lighter and melt the insulation off. Then you can solder the ends back together.

Huh? Melting point of copper is 2000 deg F. Aluminum, 1200 deg F. It may be curling, but it isn't melting. Lots of times, the insulation is a clear shelack, so that may turn black, but I don't see how you're melting the wire. A bic lighter is around 1000 deg, so don't hold it directly in the blue flame part.

I have to agree here. How could you melt it with a lighter?
