Subject: membrane panel death

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
